Château La Caze Bellevue
Saint Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Lush,full bodied Bordeaux at a ridiculous value. Dense but balanced. All the usual notes of blackberry coulis, currants etc but, man, just eye opening fruit that still feels old school.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 6th, 2016Garnet core with quite light garnet rim , showing a bit of age . On the nose this shows tobacco , earthy sous bois , some dusty plum and dark cherry with a touch of coffee . A mix of plum, cherry and cassis on the palate with the tobacco and earthy edge of the nose. Medium bodied with balanced alcohol and quite fresh acidity , tannin is slightly rustic with a hint of bitterness but doesn’t dominate the wine . Slightly short ,tobacco and coffee tinged finish . This is simple and rustic, though enjoyable with food and probably at peak now, however considering the price paid here in Brazil (R$114 Brazil Reais ~ $21 USD) you really can’t complain . Best drunk now and over the next 2-3 years. Good value overall .

Dec 8th, 2019Very good traditional st Emilion blend. The nose is dry but air shows black fruit, leather and a touch of spice. The mouth is full bodied, elegant, round and flavorful. Due to its traditional, acidic approach it would go well with a variety of food from medium to heavier dishes.

Nov 23rd, 2018I'm not usually a Bourdeaux drinker, but this is good. Dark dark fruit with maybe a hint of black licorice, leather and smoke, good tannins but not overwhelming. After a while open, the structure and length are great, although at first there was basically no fruit.
