Beauregard Vintage:2008 with sweet apricot fruit nicely

with sweet apricot fruit nicely balanced by ripe but understated acidity

this is how they explain it

intense and concentrated big-bodied flavors also exhibit the same very fine tannins as the rest of the range with a hugely long finish that is less austere than is typical

warm earth and sandalwood hints

Beauregard Vintage:2008 with sweet apricot fruit nicelyRicher in terms of aromatics and texture than the 2007, a more layered, gourmet take on Pomerol. I like this very much, shows a more plush but still refined and balanced form of Beauregard. Good stuff. Fairly high oak in these years, up to 85%, but at the 12 year mark it has softened.
