This large estate has produced a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot offering up notes of roasted herbs and licorice, red and black currants. Medium-bodied, relatively lush and fruity in style, it can be drunk over the next 5-6 years.

Tasted twice, a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, there is a slightly roasted quality on the nose, dried herbs and scorched earth. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins, missing a little fruit this year with a dry, slightly austere finish. Tasted April 2011.
Solid core of ripe fruit with toasted oak and chocolate character. Full and chewy
Distinctive autumnal notes on the nose. Fresh and vital and relatively lightweight but very serious. Round and polished on the palate. Full of appeal and with just a bit of leafiness to stop it being sickly. Lots of pure pleasure and confident attack here. Appetising. Sinewy.
This Haut Medoc property is planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Elevage in about one third new oak. The oak is one third new each vintage. Beaumont is under the same ownership as Chateau Beychevelle. Medium colour with nicely balanced sweet, ripe red cherry fruit. Nicely polished and attractive.
There is a mix of fresh red and black fruits on the nose backed by sweeter richer flavours. The start of the palate feels quite supple but towards the middle there is structure but as the tannins are not over aggressive they do not hold back the fruit.
Nicely presented ripe fruit, good balance and length, lovely balance. Drink 2014-20.
