Rond, ample, bonne sève, longueur avec un fruit solide.

The 2016 Beaumont, owned by Suntory and Castel, has a rather conservative bouquet, a little backward and surly compared to its peers with undergrowth aromas coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite lithe and agile in the mouth, a wine willing to go out and please and not worry too much about cellaring. Whilst it does not quite have the complexity of the 2015, it is still a mouthful of potentially delicious wine.

Forward, approachable, easy to drink and correct, this medium-bodied wine gives you sweet red fruit from start to finish. 86 – 88 Pts

The 2016 Beaumont is a bit rustic and rough around the edges, with dull, metallic notes that cover the fruit and dominate the wine's balance. There is not too much pleasure at this stage.

(50 Cabernet Sauvignon, 47 Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot) | 30% new oak | 13.5% alc. A lovely nose and some ripe, juicy blackberry fruit make this a pretty and engaging wine. The tannins are powdery and present but they will melt soon into the fruit offering a veritable bargain in this vintage. 16.5

Deep crimson. Muted but 'correct' aromatically. Some richness on the front palate. Very dry finish. More flesh than usual and a good expression of vintage and estate.16++

Barrel Sample. This wine comes from an estate that is showing great improvement, the wine showing power and concentration. Brimming with delicious black fruits, it will age well and is likely to be ready after 2025.

A juicy and pretty wine with berry and chocolate character, a medium body and a clean finish. Clearly better than the 2015.

From the Beychevelle team, this is a good wine. The mid-palate fills out with brambly fruit, and it is a little rustic on the finish. An even split between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 8% Petit Verdot.
