The aromas of mushrooms, tobacco, vine bark, stones and black fruit. It changes so quickly and then comes back. Full-bodied and remarkably balanced, concentrated and structured. Such precision and beauty. Try after 2024. <br/>

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) slips seductively out of the glass with perfumed scents of candied violets, chocolate-covered cherries, lavender and baked plums with nuances of redcurrants, forest floor, mossy bark and new leather. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of grace and finesse with a super fine-grained frame and lovely freshness lifting the intense, perfumed fruits to a very long, mineral-tinged finished. Gorgeous.

Dark and winey in feel, with lots of coiled-up macerated dark currant, fig paste and blackberry compote flavors laced with smoldering tobacco and alder notes, all backed by a chalky persistence through the finish. A touch austere now, but with serious length, so tuck this one away in the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2038. 1,833 cases made. — JM

The 2016 Beauséjour-Duffau Lagarrosse has quite a high-toned, precocious bouquet of blueberry, cassis and floral aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, and quite modern in style, presenting a velvety-smooth sheen and quite grippy tannins. The finish is dense at the moment, and maybe a little charmless, although I suspect it will age with style because the class is here. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
