Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The 2016 Belgrave is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot and was picked from 28 September until 20 October. It has a generous bouquet with small dark cherries, blueberry and crushed violet aromas, quite Margaux-like in style. There is certainly good intensity here. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening: blackberry, mint and cedar. From the start there is fine tension and there is very impressive structure towards the finish, plus a long saline aftertaste. This is a very strong follow-up to the 2015 Belgrave and indeed, it may surpass it.

— Neal Martin (28/04/2017)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2016 - 90-92 PARKER

Tasted blind. Perfumed and fruity. Lots of roundness and some charm. Mineral finish. Fairly long.

— Jancis Robinson (23/01/2020)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2016 - 16 JANCIS ROBINSON

Extremely perfumed with lots of cabernet character, such as flowers and blackcurrants. Full body, a pretty core of fruit and very polished tannins that fold into the fruit. Extremely well crafted. A blend of 69 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 28 per cent merlot and three per cent petit verdot. Needs two or three years to come together. Try after 2022.
