94-96 Barrel sample. Full of tannins, this wine is big and spicy, with a certain grandeur to it. It's likely to be a very fine wine, the pure acidity and black fruits pushing through. — R.V. (6/20/2006)

Château Belair 2006 Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

This is a dark wine, perhaps more elegant than powerful. The currant fruit flavors drive through with prominent acidity, trailing tight tannins and smoky wood. More weight would have been welcome. — R.V. (3/1/2009)
