94-96 Barrel sample. Big and powerful, this is a wine that is supported by dense tannins. The feeling is dry and firm, with a brooding black-currant character.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The Wine Independent

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, without any Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse has a deep garnet color. Notes of juicy blackberries, preserved plums, and Morello cherries spill from the glass, followed by hints of mint tea, dark chocolate, lilacs, and damp soil. The full-bodied palate delivers a fantastic backbone of freshness to cut through the rich, dramatic black fruit layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long with a minty lift.

Wine Advocate

Another brilliant wine of great nobility and finesse, the 2011 Beausejour-Duffau reveals a saturated chalky minerality as well as plenty of blue and black fruits, and fabulous precision and purity. It possesses a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and a distinctive/singular style only possessed by the greatest wines. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. It promises to be one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. At 14.7% alcohol, this is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Wine Spectator

A hedonist's delight, this brings a wide range of enticing plum, raspberry, blueberry and boysenberry confiture flavors together, keeping them fresh and driven, with well-embedded acidity and a dense yet polished structure. A seductive spice and black tea edge emerges on the finish. Best from 2017 through 2027.

James Suckling

This is a little hard and firm now but it is so serious. Full body with firm tannins and a flavorful, intense finish. Excellent style and class. Needs five years to soften: better in 2019.

Vinous Media

Deep inky purple. Aromas of dark cherry, plum and blackcurrant are lifted by violet and mineral nuances. Silky on entry, then tight and bright in the middle, with very good energy to the red cherry, blackcurrant syrup and sweet spice flavors. The broad, extremely long finish offers refined tannins and very pure mineral and floral nuances.
