| Baking spices on the nose, touch of cinnamon and cloves with some savoury elements too, a little closed in terms of fruit expression. Good intensity on the palate with a drive of sleek yet ripe black fruits and a lovely creamy, chalky aspect to the tannins. Acidity keeps things fresh and lively and this feels harmonious and well balanced. A great pick for fruit and freshness. Suave and charming. One to drink sooner also. A blend of 54% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenere. More Merlot in this giving a real bright fruit and upfront style. |

| The 2019 Le Petit Verdot by Belle-Vue is impressive, just as it was from barrel. Inky red fruit, wild flowers, rose petal, mint, blood orange and dried flowers fill out the layers beautifully. There is quite a bit of tannin in the background, but this is Petit Verdot, after all. Readers should expect a heady, boisterous wine. |
