2021 Chateau Beaumont - 1,5 l - Magnum - Haut Medoc AC

Decanter.com – 88 pts – GH: *Very fragrant on the nose. Clean and clear, a light touch but lots of fruit and acidity with really salty, mineral-edged tannins that give the almost dry, chalky texture that lingers on the tongue. Well made for the vintage, this has a friendly if not a dense and rich character. Almost lean in it's straightness but has a long finish with lingering elements of red cherry, liquorice and blackcurrant.* - 12/2023

Falstaff Magazin – 89 pts – PM: *Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Vanille und Schokolade, Nuancen von Pflaumen und Johannisbeeren. Mittlerer Körper, etwas weitmaschig, rote Kirschen, zarte Tannine, frisch und unkompliziert.* - 05/2022

JancisRobinson.com – 16/20pts – JH: *65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Mid crimson. Intense cassis leaf and fruit. Slightly peppery. Lovely freshness, light-bodied and vibrant in a lighter style. Fine but sufficient tannins. Decent length.* - 11/2023

Vinous.com – 90 pts – AG: *The 2021 Beaumont is a beautiful, expressive Haut-Médoc to drink now and over the next decade or so. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and cedar open first. Aromatic and medium in body, with impeccable balance, Beaumont is very nicely done. Pretty floral overtones lift the finish.* - 12/2023

Vinous.com – 88 pts – NM: *The 2021 Beaumont has opened nicely on the nose since I tasted it from barrel: blackberry and cedar to the fore, aromatics with a spring in their step. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry. This is a strict Beaumont—classic in style, quite briny and saline with just a slightly "blocky" finish. The 2021 is in keeping with its showing from barrel…but an extra point for the uptick in the aromatics.* - 11/2023

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 90 pts – JL: *Nicely balanced between its secondary tobacco notes and its black cherry and smoky side in the nose, the wine is medium-bodied, forward, soft, and ready to deliver its herbal cherries and charred cigar box character in the finish. This is showing much better from bottle than it did from the barrel. Drink from 2024-2034.* - 03/2024
