Tasting Notes 1: Antonio Galloni-89-The 2005 Belgrave is a gorgeous Haut-Medoc. Bold and punchy, the 2005 has plenty of richness and power. Succulent black cherry, mocha, tobacco licorice, dried herbs, mint, gravel and crushed flowers abound. I imagine the 2005 still has another decade of fine drinking to offer. It sure is impressive, that much is obvious.
Tasting Notes 2: Robert M. Parker, Jr.-88-Owned by the famous negociant firm of Dourthe, the 2005 Belgrave is a solid effort from a property that has tremendous upside. This dark ruby/plum-colored wine exhibits classic Medoc notes of tobacco leaf, unsmoked cigars, spice box, blackcurrants and cedar wood. It is medium-bodied, with relatively ripe, soft tannins, and a nice, lush finish. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
Tasting Notes 3: Healthy dark crimson. Lightly, slightly soapy nose. A little bit soft and lacking freshness. Valid 2005 representative but a bit muted. 'Luncheon claret.'
