Tasting Notes

Lovely classic Bordeaux nose, blackberries and cedar and attractive leaves. Open with concentrated rich fruit and good juiciness. Smooth all the way through, this is a lovely drink already with ripe firm tannins giving shape to the end.

Score: 90

Albany Vintners, - 09 January 2017

Deep colour with a classic nose of juicy blackberry fruit and cigar box continuing onto the palate. Soft black fruit, a hint of spice and a strictness to the structure making this a traditionally-styled claret.

Score: 88 - 90

Albany Vintners, - 24 April 2015

The 2014 Beaumont has a straightforward blackberry and raspberry bouquet that feels a little subdued at the moment and needs a tad more harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, solid and conservative yet with good density. It does not quite "flow" like the best vintages of this Haut-Médoc, but I suspect it will improve with another couple of years in bottle to soften its edges. Tasted September 2016.

Score: 88

The Château Beaumont 2014 has a slightly pinched nose at first, but there are appreciable dense blackberry and raspberry aromas interwoven with cedary new oak that surface with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with good weight in the mouth. It is not a complex Haut-Médoc but it dishes out freshness and crisp acidity, flavoursome and savory black fruit fanning out nicely on the finish. "Good Claret" - as they say.

Score: 88 - 90

Pretty dark purplish crimson. Broad, luscious nose. Energetic and well balanced even if only medium weight and medium ambition. Easy to like with attractive fairly open fruit, even if hardly complex or long term. Drying finish with grainy, sandy tannins.

A solid wine with tar, dark chocolate and berry character. Full and chewy. Impressive.

Score: 90 - 91
