Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
From the flagship Médoc estate of Bordeaux negociant Dourthe, this wine is impressive, ripe and ready to age well. The wood aging still shows slightly but that is already compensated for by the ripe black-currant fruits from the 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and the generous texture. Drink this wine from 2023.

91–93. Barrel Sample. This is a structured yet fruity wine. It has the vintage's acidity and freshness written all over it, giving a bright character to the solid tannins and berry fruits.

Black fruit but also some chocolate and spices on the nose. This is quite a rich and fleshy wine that’s built on a bigger scale than most of the wines of this appellation. The finish is simultaneously rich and dry. Drink in 2019.

The 2014 Belgrave is laced with the essence of gravel, black cherry, smoke, cured meats and incense. Dark, powerful and brooding, the 2014 possesses serious depth, intensity and personality. Drink this bold, hearty Haut-Médoc over the next decade.

The 2014 is dark, juicy and powerful. Intense savory notes open into black cherry, tobacco, smoke, incense and menthol. A wine of notable density, the Belgrave is super-expressive today, with more than enough fruit and mid-palate sweetness to stand up to the tannins. Points: 89-92
