Critics Ratings

'Deep colour. Dense nose, almost wild. Lighter on the palate, supple tannins, ripe red fruits, overall giving a remarkable sensation of harmony and fullness. The Belair style in all its glory, already pleasant, this will become a great wine.' - Gilbert & Gaillard, 95/100 (Dec 2007)

'Good ruby-red. Fresh, sexy nose features currant, plum and smoked meat. Large-scaled and sweet, even voluptuous for this chateau. Not the last word in personality yet, but this is silky and mouth filling, and the serious tannins are nicely ripe. Belair seems greatly improved beginning with this vintage.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 90/100 (May 2008)
