This the greatest Beau Sejour-Becot I have ever tasted. The opaque purple 2000 has put on weight during its elevage and, from the bottle, appears to be spectacular. The wood is well-integrated, and the fruit, glycerin, and overall flavor dimensions are noteworthy. The bouquet smells of ink, espresso, jammy blackberries and currants, wet stones, and licorice. Super-pure and fabulously extracted, with high tannin, full body, a thick texture, and awesome richness and length, this blockbuster effort will be at its finest between 2008-2025.
Deep purple. Relatively diffuse nose with just a hint of leafiness. Pleasant rather than dramatic. Neat, dry finish. Very competent. Quite long. May improve.Drink 2008-2018.Date tasted 20th Jan 05.
