Chateau Beau Sejour Becot, 1er Grand Cru Classe B, St Emilion 2013

" This is a structured, dry wine that is more about dry tannins than fruit. There is a juicy element that should give the wine great richness for the future." - Wine Enthusiast

"Blend of 80% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon hit 13.5% natural alcohol. The wine was made from grapes harvested October 7-18. About 5,500 cases were produced, which is far less than usual, but what’s there is impressive in this tough year. Dense, plum/purple in color, with a serious bouquet of graphite, black currants, kirsch, licorice and toasty oak, it is well-endowed, medium-bodied, and moving toward a fuller tactile impact and more texture than most wines. This has a long, supple finish." - Robert Parker
