Chateau Bellevue Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2010

Name: Chateau Bellevue
Variety: 65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc
Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $21
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "This rich wine conveys flavors of milk chocolate and ripe black plums. It is smooth, velvet-textured and full in the mouth. Acidity and firm tannins are a fine supporting cast to the black fruit flavors at the end. Drink from 2016. Extraordinary length in the mouth."

My impressions: Some alcohol on the nose, also with bits of dark fruit.  Dark fruit again on the tongue, jammy, with leathery, dried fruit too.  Full body with good tannins.  Very nice!
