Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot 2006

Lobenberg: Fast schwarz mit rotem Rand. Sehr moderne Nase, Rauch, Vanille, viel Brombeere, etwas Sauerkirsche. Sehr eleganter, schlanker Mund, viel Brombeere. Insgesamt nicht fett, sondern elegant, perfekte Säure, frisch und lebendig ohne spitz zu sein. Sehr delikater Wein für große Trinkfreude. 92-93 -- RP: This forty-acre vineyard, primarily on the limestone plateau of St.-Emilion, has turned out a very successful wine, which one expects from the Becot family, who have always been committed to quality. A blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is deep ruby/purple with a sweet nose of graphite, charcoal, black currant and black cherry fruit. It has an attractive, subtle smokiness, nicely restrained new oak, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and outstanding concentration and length. 91/100 -- NM: Tasted privately with a negotiant. A very attractive, floral, ripe nose of cherries, blueberry and violets. Very harmonious. Full-bodied, good, not excessive extraction with excellent balance, this has real feminine charm, quite succulent and supple, with blueberry, cassis and raspberry. Harmonious and much more cohesive than recent vintages, this is the best Becot for a long time. Superb. -- WS: Blackberry and mineral aromas follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a long, rich finish. Shows impressive structure and character for the vintage. Best after 2012 90/100
