Bellefont Belcier Vintage:2009 Discreet wood frames notably ripe

Discreet wood frames notably ripe and overtly exotic aromas that are composed primarily of yellow fruit aromas that include mango

but that period is down to several months from a full year the wine spent in small barrels up until 2001 or so

with a different personality from its siblings

and word gets out

Bellefont Belcier Vintage:2009 Discreet wood frames notably ripeRich and earthy, the 2005 Bellefont Belcier comes from an estate of 33+ acres and is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A structured, potentially long lived wine, it has a dense purple color, notes of cassis and black cherry liqueur, a deep minerality, ripe tannin, and a beautiful, full bodied mouthfeel and finish. This is a brilliant wine and a sleeper of the vintage to drink over the next 10 15 years.
