Le Point 17 / 20 par Jacques Dupont le 21/05/2015 Fruits noirs, épices, cerise noire, bouche ample, juteuse, pleine, dense, belle matière avec beaucoup de fruit et de moelleux. Bien fruité, long.
Vinous 90-93 / 100 par Antonio Galloni le 11/05/2015 The 2014 Beau-Séjour Bécot emphasizes silkiness and finesse while conveying an overall impression of understated grace. Nuanced and super-expressive on the palate, the 2014 should offer a long drinking window of pure pleasure. Attractive scents of iron, smoke, herbs and tobacco add nuance on the close.
The Wine Cellar Insider 91-93 / 100 par Jeff Leve le 05/05/2015 Earthy, truffle, black cherry and licorice scents are found on the nose. On the palate this wine serves up a luxurious, plumy, cocoa and mineral-filled finish. 91-93 Pts
Wine Advocate 91-93 / 100 par Neal Martin le 30/04/2015 The Château Beausejour Bécot 2014 , which absorbed the La Gomerie vineyard in 2012 (I wondered where it had gone...) is a blend of 87% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc picked between 3 and 16 October at 28hl/ha. Raised in 60% new oak, it has a very pure, black cherry and iodine-scented bouquet that is well defined with fine mineralité. The palate is silky smooth with layers of new oak that are deftly interwoven into the creamy black fruit. Perhaps I would like to see more terroir coming through, but it does have an irresistible texture, the way it just glides across the mouth. This is one of Saint Emilion's most sensual offerings.
Asian Palate 91-93 / 100 par Jeannie Cho Lee MW le 20/04/2015 There is a wonderful delicacy to this Saint-Emilion red that I tasted blind. Tannins are ripe, sweet and polished with flavors that range from cocoa, licorice and sweet spices. The freshness in this wine is evident in the lifted finish that is fairly long. A beautiful wine that will age well.
Decanter.com 17,5 / 20 par James Lawther MW le 17/04/2015 Fragrant, floral, dark fruit notes. Tender tannins and freshness on the palate. Supple texture. Long, clean finish. Well-handled extraction. Drink: 2022-2035 (91)
Jancis Robinson 15,5 / 20 le 13/04/2015 Dark crimson. Sweet, juicy but a little bit formless. Fruit juice rather than wine? Astringent finish and no great concentration. Drink 2020-2028
Jamessuckling.com 90-91 / 100 par James Suckling le 10/04/2015 Solid and tight with tangy acidity and tannins. Full bodied and chewy.
René Gabriel 18 / 20 par René Gabriel le 01/04/2015 Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Dichtes kompaktes Bouquet, zeigt eine schöne Frucht mit fein pfeffrigen Noten. Im Gaumen weist dieses Muster (wohl von der neuen Barrique) einen deutlichen Kokoston auf. Kein gewichtiger BB - aber auch nicht so maskulin wie auch schon. Ich finde ihn genial! 18/20 2024 – 2044
Wine Enthusiast 94 / 100 par Roger Voss le 01/04/2015 93–95. Barrel Sample. While this powerful wine does have considerable over-extraction, it also has swathes of ripe berry fruits. There is enough fruity richness that it should eventually dominate the tough structure and harmonize; it just needs time. — R.V. (4/2/2015)
Wine Spectator 91-94 / 100 par James Molesworth le 31/03/2015 Well-built, with ample ganache and mocha notes out front, matched to ample dark plum, blackberry and fig fruit. Lush and fleshy in feel through the finish, deliveringwaves of velvety fruit and tannins.
