The 2009 Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse has a very composed and focused bouquet with brambly red fruit, mulberry, loam and cedar aromas, maybe just a little new oak still waiting to be fully subsumed after 10 years. The palate is well balanced with a medicinal, honey textured opening, plenty of cough candy infusing the red fruit, good depth but just missing some grip and density on the rather one-dimensional finish. This has not aged as well as some of the others from Nicolas Thienpont’s stable, such as Larcis Ducasse and this is one example where I prefer the preceding vintage. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035
Served blind at the Southwold 2009 tasting. The Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse has a wonderful nose ” real minerality coming through here with outstanding delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Crisp and precise, tightly coiled especially on the earthy finish, it will surely repay several year ageing. Again, this is one of those Saint Emilion wines that seemed to coalesce in the glass and will surely improve. Tasted January 2013.
