2004 Château Beauregard, Pomerol
Classic pomerol with creamy-coated, red plum fruits and subtle floral notes. The palate shows a pleasing texture – smooth and remarkably elegant with a wealth of generous, glossy fruit. Stone fruit flavours are abundant and well expressed and there is lots of charm evident in this flowing pomerol. At our tasting this stood out for its sheer balance. Whilst many counterparts are dwelling on extraction, Vincent Priou approaches this subject with distinct caution. A very fine pomerol has resulted with 80% of Merlot dominating the blend.
