2016 Beaumont typifies why this vintage could be the best in recent history. Bricking slightly at the rim but with deep ruby colour still, the nose is unmistakably Bordeaux with its notes of cedar and blackcurrant, the fruit cool but undeniably ripe. The palate is chalky, the tannins now yielding into impressively intense but never heavy fruit. Gaining some savoury cedar, dry undergrowth and leather, the fruit still takes the lead. Chiselled, well-balanced and long, this is a superb wine for the money. Drink over the coming 5+ years.
