Robert Parker: 88 Points
Wine Advocate # 146 Apr 2003 Robert Parker 88 Drink: 2005 - 2014 $49-$50 (22) An excellent effort from Belgrave, the saturated dark ruby-colored, medium-bodied 2000 offers a sweet aromatic and flavor profile of plums, black currants, cherries, licorice, and dried Provencal herbs. The wine is deep, elegant, and medium-bodied, with solid tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014.
