Community Tasting Note

• Christine Havens Likes this wine: 92 points

  June 16, 2015 - Ruby-hued and breathtakingly fresh, with a deep perfume of black cherry and cassis, forest notes, cedar, graphite, violets and an unexpected top note of smoke and coal dust. In the mouth, the 2000 Beau-Sejour Becot is silk over sinew, with penetrating black fruit neatly framed by polished tannins and moderate acidity. There are decadent notes too—carmelized sugar and sweet plummy fruit at the center.
