Concentrated and expressive fruit notes of brambles and dark cherries followed by black ink, peppery greens, anise, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, firm tannins with crisp acidity. Broad and encompassing mid-palate with a layered finish. Nice depth and density to it. 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes.

The 2021 Beauregard is a tasty, expressive Pomerol to drink now and over the medium term. A healthy dollop of Cabernet Franc in the blend adds aromatic presence. Dried herbs, incense, tobacco, menthol, licorice and sage are some of the notes that open with coaxing. I would give this a few years in bottle to come together. There's a lot of wine here.

Opening in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings and new oak, the 2021 Beauregard is medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with a moderately concentrated core of fruit framed by plenty of powdery tannin that asserts itself on the youthfully firm finish.

Ripe and fleshy, with an almost succulent edge to the plum and cherry compote flavors, while red licorice and sweet toast frame the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
