Belvedere Pink Grapefruit
Flavoured 40% ABV ABV Polmos Zyrardow / LVMHBelvedere Pink Grapefruit is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got a floral lift and subtle complexity. On the palate, the Elegant and balanced is beautifully done, and the clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
My new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with a floral lift — I also picked up Natural and sophisticated that the review mentions. On the palate, Elegant and balanced is spot on, and there's a richness that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with Medium. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.
Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you a floral lift and Natural and sophisticated, and on the palate it's all about Elegant and balanced. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with Medium. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.
Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Fresh pink grapefruit and a floral lift, but on the palate the Elegant and balanced doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get Natural and sophisticated — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Elegant and balanced with beautiful texture. Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH has clearly mastered their craft.
Not for me
I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Fresh pink grapefruit but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The Elegant and balanced described didn't come through for me. The clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth has a burn where I wanted clean warmth. Others clearly rate it highly so it may be personal preference. Won't be buying another bottle though.
Beautifully balanced
One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The subtle rye spice promises quality, and the palate delivers with Elegant and balanced. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The rye base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Blown away by this vodka
Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The subtle rye spice on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — Elegant and balanced with wonderful texture. The finish has Medium that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.
A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you Natural and sophisticated — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Elegant and balanced and the rye character shines through. The Medium. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH.
Worth every penny
I was reading the tasting notes in the review and thought they sounded too good to be true for a vodka, but they're accurate. The a floral lift is genuinely there, the Elegant and balanced delivers, and the clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth is exactly as described. Served this at a tasting with friends last weekend — everyone was surprised how much character it has. We did a blind comparison against two other brands and this won hands down.

Expected more
Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised Fresh pink grapefruit and subtle rye spice, but the palate is flat and the Medium disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The Not sweet or artificial the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.

Better than expected
Mixed feelings. On the nose I got the subtle rye spice — that part is nice. But the Not sweet or artificial didn't match the promise for me. Mid-palate feels a bit thin. Still, it's better than many bottles at this price and the clean grapefruit bitterness with a lingering rye warmth is reasonable. Worth trying at least once, especially in a Martini.
