The 2013 Bellevue Mondotte is occasionally too brash on the nose... But not this vintage. It delivers on the promise that it showed in barrel and delivers licorice-tinged red and black fruit, iodine-like aromas that are both fresh and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied, licorice-tinged opening, plenty of sappy red fruit, supple tannin and a clingy, blackberry and raspberry preserve finish that perhaps does not quite have the finesse of the 2013 Pavie-Decesse at the moment. Having said that, give this a couple more years in bottle and you should have an attractive Saint Emilion. Score: 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2030 28 October 2016 |

The Bellevue-Mondotte 2013 has a bright bouquet with crème de cassis, iodine and blueberry, the 80% new oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, fine in the mouth with admirable precision on the finish. This is a more tempered Bellevue-Mondotte, but it has great potential. One of the more successful Saint Emilion crus this year. Tasted April 2014. Score: 91 - 93 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 April 2014 |

Rather sweet oak, very tough tannins. Impenetrable, but without much fruit generosity to back up. Score: 15 Jancis Robinson MW, Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2026 01 April 2014 |

This is a little lean and firm but has some decent fruit, with spice and berry character. Lacks a center palate. Score: 87 - 88 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 April 2014 |

A Gérard Perse wine. Deep, dark and reserved. Firm, tight structure. A little heavy handed in a year that needs a light touch. Score: 88 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2019-2030 01 April 2014 |

This has some depth for the vintage, with a solid core of raspberry and plum paste notes lined with red licorice hints and backed by toasted spice details on the finish. A showy style. Score: 88 - 91 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 01 April 2014 |
