Château Beauséjour Duffau Lagarrosse 1990 (6 BT)

Château Beauséjour Duffau Lagarrosse 1990

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)

Levels into neck, 5 slightly glue-striped labels, 1 glue-striped label, 2 slightly scuffed labels, 4 slightly scuffed capsules

Incredibly tarry-rich nose. Deep chocolate, black berries and wet earth. Fantastically exciting. Intensely concentrated, inky cassis flavours. Multi-dimensional. This just grows in stature and sheer punch and impact. In 2011, the above note holds absolutely true. Masses of blueberries and intense scent all through. Exotic and soft, almost sweet in its ripeness and come- hither qualities. This is a real one-off. In 2013, lush, plummy and all over you. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100 [TASTER:SERENA]Incredibly tarry-rich nose. Deep chocolate, blackberries and wet earth. Fantastically exciting. Intenselyconcentrated, inky cassis flavours. Multi-dimensional. This justgrows in stature and sheer punch and impact. In 2011, the above noteholds absolutely true. Masses of blueberries and intense scent allthrough. Exotic and soft, almost sweet in its ripeness and come-hither qualities. This is a real one-off. In 2013, lush, plummy andall over you. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100[TASTER:PARKER]One of the most singular Bordeaux I have ever tasted,it verges on being port-like, but it pulls back because of theextraordinary minerality and laser-like focus. The wine is massivelyconcentrated, still black/purple-hued to the rim, and offers a nose ofincense, blackberries, blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, and forestfloor. It reveals low acidity and high tannins, which are largelyconcealed by the sheer concentration and lavish glycerin the winepossesses. WA 100 - 06/09
