This is not going to wow you with its concentration

The Asili vineyard was purchased in 1961

but that period is down to several months from a full year the wine spent in small barrels up until 2001 or so

Bellefont Belcier Vintage:2009 blueberry and bacon fatRich 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.
