Château Bellegrave Pomerol 2005

Like many of the 2005 Pomerols at the 17 year stage, the colour is still deep ruby, and the aromatics are open, welcoming and ready to drive into. The character of the wine is dominated by tertiary flavours of earth, undergrowth, blackberry, rust, with touches of brett. Old school, charming, mouthwatering on the finish. Jean-Marie Bouldy owner, already farming organically at this stage, although not certified until 2009.
