Possessing full-bodied richness, building tannin, world-class purity of fruit, and an incredible finish, it’s one of those “iron fist in a velvet glove” wines that carries awesome richness and depth, yet just glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. This legendary Saint-Emilion needs 6-7 years of cellaring and will keep for 3-4 decades. Don’t miss this wine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aromas of mushrooms, tobacco, vine bark, stones and black fruit. It changes so quickly and then comes back. Full-bodied and remarkably balanced, concentrated and structured. Such precision and beauty. Try after 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI just love this - it's compact, closed and tense, and yet aromatically rich, juicy and powerful. It's totally delicious and easily one of my favourite St-Emilion 2016s. It combines the austerity of limestone with the power and seductive appeal of clay. It will take its time opening, but will amply reward patience.

Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of grace and finesse with a super fine-grained frame and lovely freshness lifting the intense, perfumed fruits to a very long, mineral-tinged finished. Gorgeous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96pts Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this wine offers superripe fruit, it also has the freshness that comes from the vintage. It is both opulent and juicy with spice and a smoky character from the judicious wood aging.

A touch austere now, but with serious length, so tuck this one away in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Consortium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248475591020,"sku":"607921120406","price":229.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/chateau-beausejour-heritiers-duffau-lagarrosse-saint-emilion-grand-cru-2016-750ml-548227.webp?v=1787714791","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/chateau-beausejour-heritiers-duffau-lagarrosse-saint-emilion-grand-cru-2016-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
