(Chateau Beausejour Duffau Crand Cru) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-beautiful nose; really pretty raspberry meets cranberry and cherry; dynamic red fruit here; a little bark as well which I like; PALATE-the wine is like Evander Holyfield in that it's "the Real Deal"; this wine is SPECTACULAR and has brought on a lot of weight with the age; this is staggering; there's a gorgeous hint of eucalyptus mint on the mid-palate; black pepper; it's almost like eating a steak -- there's a juiciness and a heaviness; great fruit -- great plum, cherry and raspberry coming through; this is frickin'' AWESOME; this wine is elegant, perfectly balanced, rich, delicious; I don't understand how anyone can drink this and not like it; this has class (like Lauren Bacall); this is PHENOMENAL and what Bordeaux is all about; so balanced; I love it; SPECTACULAR; RP-91; GV-95+

Canon vs. Duffau-Lagarrosse 2009-2020 tasted blind (Fribourg): Rich, ripe nose, lots of dry extract here as well, a touch overripe fruit intermixed with cranberries. Quite harsh and sour on the finish.

Good nose and quite delicious. A little short on the mid palate and finish though. Would hv been great otherwise.

Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 2 hours. Starting out with some volatility, but settling in over an hour. There was a seeming hole in the mid palate, a little vacuolar actually, still there was black cherry that got a bit juicier over an hour or more; firm tannins that also slightly loosened, minerals and black licorice. I'm not sure that this has a lot of upside.

St. Emilion night (Chicago, IL): A little foursquare, but drinking very well for a 2005. This doesn't have the intense structure that so many others have, and there's a resolved, plummy, juiciness here. Not too complex or layered, but with a lot of those nice fruit layers on the palate making this readily accessible at such a young age.

Not nearly as much age as I expected for a 2005 (nearly 20 years in). Had a tartness (a lot of blackberry and cherry).
