The 2017 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is powerful and backward, with huge tannins wrapped around a core of black cherry, smoke, charcoal, licorice, blackberry jam and graphite. Exotic and rich in the glass, the 2017 needs time to soften, but it is immensely promising, not to mention utterly captivating. Tasted three times. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

For the price as a college student.. This is worth half of the quality it tastes like.
Acidity is delicate. Salty mineral of rocks. Waves of happiness when paired with some lightly spiced crab. — 9 years ago

American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 4 years ago
100% Gamay.
Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.
The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.
Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.
Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 8 years ago
Beautiful bottle at Maison Gambert in Tain Hermitage. — 8 years ago
Reddish ruby with a little brown. Almost opaque. Pure nose of black cherry, mint, herbs, cola. Incredibly rich and round in the mouth. Long finish. Guessed old Heitz Martha's Vineyard. I think that's a complement to both. Opened 5 hrs in advance and then drunk over 4 more hours, this became more refined with time. Kind of angular versus the more opulent 45 Mouton. Parker's favorite wine the legendary 47 Cheval Blanc. What a treat to compare the two side by side. I think the 45 Mouton wins at the wire tho. — 9 years ago
Pear, tart apple, slight bit of nutty salinity. Punching way above its weight class! Aww yeeeahhh — 10 years ago

Whelan Wine, I do have a soft spot for PN, all the red berries, smooth tannins, lovely defo have again. — 6 years ago
Very pleasurable indeed. The 14' P-F's another excellent value number from Lafon's Macconais line-up. Quite firmly reduced, yet the underlying fruit still seems ripe. Floral tones. Rich with a decent dollop of oak, but all framed in mouth-watering acidity. Certainly a mineral drop. Atm, I've got a slight preference for the 16' Clos du Four due to its sheer potential and seemingly greater comcentration. — 7 years ago

Buen vino. un poco acido al abrir la botella pero desarrollo muy bien despues de 30 minutos abierto. — 9 years ago
Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 10 years ago
