Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2008 Barrel sample (Saint-Émilion)

Country: France / Barrel sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Beau-Séjour Bécot / Saint-Émilion

93-85 Barrel sample. Mint and eucalyptus aromas are the hallmark of this tensely tannic wine, which relies on finely polished new wood as well as blackcurrant flavors. It is very dry, with a hard edge, but the potential balance is there.
