1989 Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

1989 Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse : a subtle nose of plum and some spice, but not very expressive. The mouth was richer and more giving than the nose, indeed very full bodied with pleasant dark fruit flavors and chocolate. Full-bodied and long.

2000 Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse 2000: nose more muted, palate with thicker fruit of plum and cherry. This wine showed greater extract than the Belair and one participant noted a “broad aromatic palate.” I found greater power in style, though just slightly hard on the palate with a relatively short finish. Still, it was among the most popular wines of the tasting – and did show better the next day. "5 votes out of 12"
