St Emilion - Chateau Belair Monage 2020

"A blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Belair‑Monange has a deep garnet‑purple color. It begins on a single note of bright, juicy red berries and roses, before expanding out to a whole array of suggestions of black plums, raspberry preserves, and mince pie, plus wafts of lilacs, loam, and cinnamon toast. The palate is full‑on, full‑bodied, jam‑packed with muscular black and red berry layers and so many floral and savory accents, supported by velvety tannins, finishing with epic length and so much energy that it shimmers." 99 pts, The Wine Independent
