I would also observe that while this seems quite forward

mouth coating and moderately austere finale where a hint of bitter cherry arises

The vineyard is really high and surrounded by impressive dry stone walls and constructions

The nose is in almost the exact same state as the straight cuvée with its reductive and floral aromas

Bellefont Belcier other_regions_italy I would also observe thatRich and earthy, the 2005 Bellefont Belcier comes from an estate of 33+ acres and is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A structured, potentially long lived wine, it has a dense purple color, notes of cassis and black cherry liqueur, a deep minerality, ripe tannin, and a beautiful, full bodied mouthfeel and finish. This is a brilliant wine and a sleeper of the vintage to drink over the next 10 15 years.
