The 2012 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) Bordeaux Blend from Saint Emilion, France, stands out as a powerful and structured red wine. Composed of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, it presents a deep garnet color and boasts an alcohol content of 14.0%. This vintage has received high praise from several notable wine critics.

Jeb Dunnuck, who awarded it an impressive 96 points, describes it as "one of the stars in the vintage," noting its "inky purple color" and "classic notes of blackberries, blueberries, crushed violets, and graphite." He advises patience, suggesting that it should be cellared for a few more years to reach its peak.

Wine Enthusiast also gives it a high score of 95, highlighting the wine's "solid fruits and structure" and "beautifully ripe fruit—packed with rich and juicy blackberries." James Suckling echoes this sentiment with another 95-point rating, calling it "really sexy and polished with ultra-fine tannins" and a wonderful blend of "dark fruit, dark mushrooms, berries, and dried strawberries."

Wine Spectator provides a slightly lower but still excellent score of 94, noting the wine's "unctuous plum sauce and warmed fig fruit" with a "solid graphite spine" that lends it definition and drive. The finish is enhanced by "smoldering tobacco and anise notes," with a promising echo of boysenberry.

Vinous and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate both commend the wine, with scores of 92 and 93, respectively. Neal Martin from Vinous appreciates its "freshness on the nose" and "perfusion of black cherries, raspberry, and marmalade aromas," while Robert Parker's Wine Advocate highlights its "dense, slightly broody but well-defined bouquet" and structured palate.

Overall, the 2012 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) is highly regarded across the board, with a consensus that it will continue to age gracefully for many years to come.
