Beaurenard Cuvee Boisrenard 2009 (750ML)

96 WS

Powerful, with a muscular core of roasted fig, blackberry and cassis fruit framed by thick, mesquite-tinged tannins and loads of tobacco, pepper and tar coating the finish. Yet despite its power, this is racy and defined, with mouthwatering cut on the finish, where the mesquite note lingers. Ambitiously toasty, yet fully integrated. On par with the superb 2001 and 2005. Best from 2014 through 2024. From France. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
