2015 Duffau-Lagarrosse Chateau Beausejour, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 750ml

"I don't know what to say here other than it?s better than any BDL I drank since 1989 including the 1990. There's a transparency and beauty like a rainbow. Full body, extremely long and bright. Super fine tannins. Pure fruit."

One of the undisputed stars of the vintage, the 2015 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is dark, brooding and explosive to its core. The essence of super-ripe dark cherry, plum, graphite, crushed rocks, gravel, smoke and incense infuses a dramatic, sweeping Saint-Émilion endowed with superb power and intensity. Sumptuous, spectacularly rich and also massively structured, the 2015 is going to need at least a decade to come into its own. Those lucky enough to find it are in for a treat, as the 2015 is a total stunner. Nicolas Thienpont and his team hit a number of home runs in 2015, including at Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse, where both wines are simply great. Tasted two times with consistent notes.
