Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse has a sedate bouquet with brambly black fruit with redcurrant and a touch of dried fig lending sweetness. The palate is medium-bodied with tannin that have softened dramatically in recent years. It feels grainy in texture with a rather fluffy, gravelly finish that is missing some backbone. Easy-drinking Saint Emilion but still, it is nicely crafted considering the growing season. Tasted March 2015.
Mid crimson with pale rim. Briary, evolved nose – classic (old-fashioned?!) style with little tannin left. Acid just starting to dominate fruit. (JR)
Very dark purple. More integrity on the nose than some. Nourishing though still very youthful. (JR)
