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.

The 2014 Beaumont shows good textural depth and body, but comes across as a bit green and lacking in polish, with slightly angular contours that attentuate the fruit. Savory herbs, smoke, licorice and tobacco notes add a bit of complexity, but the rough edges are impossible to escape.

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.

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.

This wine has eucalyptus and herbal notes with red cassis. The flavors are subtle and fresh with a balanced, supple palate and ripe tannins. Finish is modest but there is plenty to enjoy in its youth. Consulted by Eric Boissenot and owned by the Suntory company.

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

91–93. Barrel Sample. A solidly structured wine with big, juicy plum fruits and dense tannins. It is firm, with a dry background of solid tannins that are lifted by acidity. This wine will age well.
