Aromas of plums, orange peel, cedar and violets with hints of mushroom and light tar. It’s full-bodied with lots of extremely polished tannins that give the wine a very fine, velvety texture and lively, vivid length...

Loads of meaty black cherries, currants, truffle, chocolate, and tobacco emerge from the 2018 Château Beauregard. Full-bodied, it has a round, elegant texture, classic Pomerol finesse, silky tannins, and a great finish...

Showing much better in bottle than in barrel, the plummy wine serves up additional nuances of truffle, flower, black cherry and smoke on the nose. Lush and richly textured on the palate, the wine exudes layers of earthy...

There is lots of density here but it shows a lovely supple side to the fruits with intense damson and black cherry alongside swirls of chocolate and a patisserie choux bun touch of gentle creaminess. A good job, and a...

Wine Enthusiast, May 2021

Rich in supple Merlot, this wine shows full, ripe black fruits and plenty of solid tannins to balance. Power comes from the concentrated black-plum flavors and rich structure that have come together well. Drink from 2025...

Wine Spectator, January 2021

Crushed plum and boysenberry compote notes form the core in this fleshy and seductive Pomerol, while dark tea, incense and smoldering tobacco accents fill in the background. Has some latent, earthy grip too. Very solid...

The Wine Independent, June 2025

The 2018 vintage was poured alongside the 2015, an interesting contrast of two solar vintages. There is a touch more Merlot in the blend here, at 75% of the total, the remaining 25% all Cabernet Franc. It ramps up the...
