St Emilion - Chateau Beausejour 2020

"The 2020 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau‑Lagarrosse is racy, sophisticated and wonderfully polished. Crushed red berry fruit, lavender, rose petal, cinnamon and blood orange all race through the 2020. This is the first vintage overseen by consulting winemaker Julien Viaud, who seems to be going for a less extracted style than that favored by Nicolas Thienpont. There is plenty of size and vertical explosive energy, but the 2020 is also wonderfully finessed, especially in its tannins. It's a striking wine by any measure. Drinking Window: 2026 ‑ 2050." 97 pts, Vinous
