A nicely polished red with currants, walnuts and hints of fresh herbs. Medium body. Fine tannins. Fresh and refined. Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 09 May 2022 |

The 2021 Belgrave is a tasty Haut-Médoc. Black cherry, gravel, graphite, cloves and licorice infuse the 2021 with quite a bit of complexity. This potent, virile Haut-Médoc should blossom nicely with a few years in bottle. I very much like the vibrancy here. Score: 89 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2026 - 2036 01 May 2022 |

The 2021 Belgrave was picked from September 27 to October 7 and contains a little more Cabernet this year; it was aged in 29% new oak. The nose takes its time opening, revealing blackberry, touches of black pepper and menthol, all fresh and vibrant and the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with insistent grip on the entry. Quite Saint-Julien in style (no surprise given its vines border the appellation), with fine structure and salinity on the finish. Maybe just a little short, but I admire its classicism and sapidity. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2026 - 2042 01 May 2022 |

Powerful, spicy black fruits on the nose, starts off enjoyably with well-worked tannins and bright raspberry leaf and blackberry notes, but struggles to maintain balance against hard tannins on the finish. Should soften further over ageing. Tasted three times. 29% new oak. Score: 86 Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com 07 April 2022 |

Darker blue fruits, damp earth, and tobacco notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Belgrave, a pretty, elegant, medium-bodied barrel sample that brings solid mid-palate depth, quality tannins, and a good finish. Score: 87 - 89 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 06 February 2022 |
