2020 Château Beauregard Ducasse Graves

50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc from the 80 acre Beauregard estate, planted on Graves' classic  clay and gravel upon limestone subsoil. The wine is tank-fermented; 80% is aged in a tank, and the other 20% is aged in a barrel. 2020 was a legendary vintage in Bordeaux and this wine punches well above its price point. 

92 points, Decanter Magazine. “Dark and ripe nose, bramble fruits. Supremely smooth and silky yet layered with deep blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, soft minerality, and some clove and licorice spice but balanced and not sticking out. I love the effortless nature of this; the acidity is excellent, and the clarity is good with soft minerality and a lifted finish. It's ripe, showing the vintage, but reigned in so nothing is too much. A delicious wine. Sculpted and charming.”
