From a bottle purchased in Saint Emilion, the 1982 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) showed beautifully and while fully mature, still has a youthful vibe and opened up over the evening. Lots of ripe blackcurrant fruits, forest floor, green tobacco, and saddle leather notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, rounded, opulent wine that has resolved tannins, sweet fruit, and outstanding length. It’s not going to get any better, but it’s a classy, outstanding Saint-Emilion to enjoy over the coming 5-8 years or so.
