Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2012

93-95. Barrel sample. This is a finely balanced wine that’s ripe and structured at the same time. It has richness and spice, with a powerful context of wood, juicy blackberry fruits and delicious acidity. With such concentration, this is a wine with excellent ageing potential. [Drink into mid-2030’s.] Score – 94. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2013)
