Château Bel Air Gloria

87 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '09 Chateau Bel-Air is a dense ruby/plum-colored sleeper; oddles of fruit as well as notes of Christmas fruitcake and roasted herbs with loads of cassis; tasty.

85 PTS WILFRED WONG. Soft, smooth, and ready for the dinnertable, the '01 Ch Bel Air is a red-fruited Medoc with light tannins; has nice life on the palate; perfect with pork tenderloin.

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. A fine working Haut-Medoc, one of Bordeaux's workhorse appellations; the '02 Ch Bel Air shows tasty red fruit flavors that are quite open-knit and obvious; this is a good drink.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. Nice and smooth, the fine-tuned '00 Ch Bel Air drinks exceptionally well; pretty and proper, this exactly the way an Haut-Medoc should behave.
