2003 Château Beau-Site, Cru Bourgeois St-Estèphe
Rich, dark purple in the glass with an intoxicating perfume of cassis,Victoria plum and violets. On the palate, it is full and rich, with blackcurrant and raspberry fruit characters balancing well with soft tannins, and the lightest touch of the classic St-Estèphe minerality. Delicious even now, but this would certainly benefit from a couple more years in the cellar.
