Michael Schuster | A lovely nose, Merlot-ripe, Cabernet-Franc- fragrant; generous, fresh, firmly but finely tannic; a Merlot sweetness of flavor beautifully defined by its Cabernet Franc aromatic freshness; full yet fresh, gently racy, long to taste, succulent and juicy, but aromatically complex, too, and with very fine scented length. A combination of opulence and freshness that is particularly satisfying. A fine, complete, classy, and harmonious Beauregard, which will be delicious when fully mature. The best Beauregard yet? 2032–49+.
