2009 Ch. Beauregard, Pomerol

While Beauregard's wines have a tendency to be monolithic and oaky, the 2009 is one of the finest I have tasted from this estate. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by copious quantities of licorice, blackberry, and mulberry characteristics as well as silky tannins, a sweet, fat mid-palate, and a long finish with just a hint of oak. It should drink well for 10-15 years.

Glossy and dark. Powerful dark chocolate notes. Easy and rather too casual on the palate with quite marked acid on the end. Nothing to object to but nothing to get seriously excited about.

A little lean, but some good berry and sweet tobacco character, with a nice hint of new wood.
(James Suckling - Wine Spectator - Apr 2010)

Ripe and well structured. Plenty of length and freshness. Attractive fruit. Not a blockbuster but really harmonious.
