Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style.  "Fabulous aromas of blackberry, licorice and flowers. Wonderful nose. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and a long finish. This is powerful and rich. This is very long and velvety. Gorgeous. The winemaker here thinks it could match the great 1990 and 1989. Almost classic quality." Jun 2006

Stephen Tanzer:  Rated as Outstanding.  "Medium red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of black cherry and licorice; slightly liqueur-like. Intensely flavored and gripping, with impressive power and a serious spine to the sweet black cherry flavors. Finishes with sneaky length and excellent backbone for aging. Aeration brought more minerality and more sweetness." May/Jun 2008

Wired For Wine:  Mostly Merlot, with lovely enhancements à la Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, this classically French  Château Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé is a full-bodied, deep purple masterpiece with rich dark fruit, a whisper of spice, wonderful tannins, and a velvety finish which lasts for days.  Depending on your mood,  this stellar Grand Cru Classé may be paired with chicken, duck, and pork, as well as lamb and beef. Qu'aimez-vous?  Savor your first glass on its own and explore the myriad layers of luxuriously delicious.  The mouth-watering fruit in this Château Beauséjour  is perfect with roast cornish hens stuffed with pork and prunes.  For the good acidity, we love this St. Emilion with papardelle served with a robust lamb and tomato ragout. And finally, a simply grilled veal chop with a morel mushroom risotto will be equally devastating in our opinion.  Take a breath, and then pour another glass to go with a luscious ivory French Ossau Iraty cheese.  It has a sweet, buttery flavor which is exquisite and typiquement français.  Bon appétit winelovers!
