(Beausejour-Becot) This started out promising ended in a disaster. There was a ripe nose with some loamy elements and strong minerality. Sure it was ripe on the palate but the wood seemed integrated and it was very juicy. But that lasted twenty minutes. Then the oak took over and the wine finished with increasingly bitter tannins until it was undrinkable and eventually poured out because it was so offensive.

Bouteille et bouchon en parfait état.
Ouvert 4 heures avant puis dégusté durant 3 heures.
Grosse variété d’arômes, cerises, cassis, épices douces, coco, fumée.
La bouche est structurée avec pas mal de tanins mais bien équilibrée, soyeuse et longue.
À 1/4 de siècle, le vin est totalement à son apogée et devrait y rester quelques années encore.
Excellent.

Quite ready, still vibrant. Lots of dark fruit, leather, bit of tobacco. Refined and integrated. Just not exceptional.

Ink, leather and tobacco in the nose. Medium bodied. Despite mature aromas, plum and tobacco the bottle is more edgy and "dryer" than last time around, remaining fresh and earthy all the way to the finish. Possibly suboptimal condition of this bottle. In dubio no rating.

Fully-mature and still going strong, the wine is soft, supple, creamy and effortlessly shows off its salty, chocolate-covered cherries, and red plums with ease in the perfume, and on the palate. This has developed well. But, if you want to know what’s really going on at Beau-Sejour Becot today, you need to taste some of the current vintages as they’ve upped their game and are producing the best wines in the history of the estate today! Drink from 2023-2030.

mature with notes of dried fruit, herbs, leather and forest floor. Silky tannins. Best after about 2 hours in the open bottle. Maybe a bit tired but delicious nonetheless
