Beauregard 2019 (6.0L)

94 DE / 92-94 JD / 92-93 JS / 91-93 VM

Dense and concentrated plum and damson on display. Some austerity right now, as you hope in a young wine. Harvest from September 12 on young vines and more than a week later for the older vines through to October 4. 3.7pH. Tasted again a few weeks later, delicious, same score. - Jane Anson, Decanter

Always a terrific wine, the 2019 Château Beauregard offers a rocking bouquet of blackcurrants, toasted spice, chocolate, mocha, and tobacco. This ripe, full-bodied, sexy wine has sweet tannin, a great mid-palate, and no hard edges. It's going to rival the 2016 and certainly be one of the top vintages I've tasted from this estate. - Jeb Dunnack

A juicy red with walnut, chocolate and berry character. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. - James Suckling

The 2019 Beauregard has a tightly knit bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass: brambly black fruit, truffle and a touch of smoke emerge, albeit reluctantly. The palate is promising with dusky black fruit tinged with black tea, sea salt and sage, very briny and saline towards the finish. This is an intriguing Beauregard that is full of personality and maybe more cerebral than prior vintages. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
