Belgrave's gravelly soils favored Cabernet Sauvignon in 2017, resulting in a wine of poise, freshness, and understated elegance rather than sheer power. The blend is predominantly \u003cstrong data-start=\"367\" data-end=\"408\"\u003e88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it a distinctly Médoc personality. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"992\"\u003eIn the glass, the wine opens with aromas of \u003cstrong data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"621\"\u003eblack currant, cassis, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, and dried herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, accented by hints of violet and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully proportioned, with ripe black fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of pencil lead, crushed gravel, savory herbs, and a touch of cocoa carry through to a long, polished finish that feels refined rather than opulent. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1472\"\u003eThis is a quintessential \u003cstrong data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1045\"\u003efood-friendly Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e that rewards those who appreciate finesse over extraction.
