Château Beaumont 2022

Clear and pure, a lovely clean juiciness though the lightness in terms of fruit density doesn’t quite match the tannins, which although are fine are quite present and dense with touches of liquorice, clove, cinnamon and dark chocolate that dominate and make this quite serious. It doesn’t feel overworked, but it’s still a bit compact and spiced with clear power underneath, although there is refinement overall. Tasted twice. Harvest 19 September-5th October. Yields 28hl/ha. Drinking window: 2026-2045. Score – 90. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, March 31, 2023)
