On the darker side of the spectrum, with lightly mulled black currant and blackberry paste flavors mingling with a licorice snap note before solid, brambly tannins roll through the finish. Should unwind nicely with moderate cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2022. 1,667 cases made.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Elegantes, ausladendes, recht vielschichtiges Bouquet, blaue Beeren, Earl-Greynoten, etwas Tabak, elegante, füllige Süsse. Im Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, wunderschön ausgeglichen, klingt delikat und aromatisch aus. Eine richtige, beruhigende Deikatesse. Der nächste Punkt liegt in Griffnähe.
Vinous Antonio Galloni (86-89 Punkte)
The 2013 Bellevue is a pretty wine, even if some rough edges remain. Smoke, tar, licorice, scorched earth and black fruit emerge nicely in the glass. If the 2013 finds its polish in elevage it may merit a higher rating, today, the wine is a bit compact and unyielding.
