Absolutely beautiful strawberry and raspberry and blueberry sitting over perfectyl-articulated oak with a vanilla undercurrent. Gentle but bold - absolutely wonderful.

I loved this wine. Balanced oak with dark berry flavors and hints of chocolate, tobacco, and a subtle smoke that I love. It lingers on the palate the way it should.

2020 vintage tasted at the winery. The wine is just outstanding! Plush, luxurious structure. Dark fruit, with a hint of cigar smoke. Incredibly rich mouthfeel. Only 5 years old, but appears to be ready to drink now.

This wine continues to evolve. It's just luscious with flavors of plum, red cherry, tobacco and mint. The tannins are so soft and the wine is incredibly rich.

Diep paars van kleur Braam, zwarte kers, ceder, tabak, vanille, eucalyptus. Een jonge wijn, maar met veel potentie. Droog, zuren gem+, tannine gem+, alc hoog, body gem+, intensiteit gem+, afdronk lang Voortreffelijke wijn

VivinoPer Sundbom2023-09-10

Purpurrött och tätt vin med stort av allt. Doften smäller till av ek, björnbär, vanilj och läder. Smaken är fyllig och koncentrerad med tydliga inslag av svart vinbär. Härliga tanniner som möter en väl balanserad syra. Ett stort vin som åter imponerar.

Remarkable wine from Beaulieu Tried this at the winery where the host was generous enough to offer us a free tasting This wine has exceptional quality, balance, and depth. raspberry, black cherry, and currant along with herbs like sage firm tannins, a velvety texture, vibrant acidity, and an impressively long and earthy finish Can be had now or aged for a long time

Notas muy elegantes y en buen equilibrio con taninos y acidez. Sedoso en boca. Encontramos mora, ciruela, frambuesa negra, grosella roja, cuero, un poco de vainilla, y toques muy ligeros a ahumado/ tostada. Asombrosa reserva con buen potencial de guarda.

1年ぶりのジョルジュラトゥール、今回は2019。外縁のみが淡く透ける、濃厚で美しいルビー。軽くスワリングすると、たちまちふわりと優しく包み込むようなバニラ、オークの香り。アタックは柔らかめだが、次第に濃密な余韻が広がる。故あって米沢牛のすき焼きになったが、迎え撃つには十分のポテンシャル。滑らかで飲み易いのがよい…のだが、変化も楽しまなければ。 → 翌日、既にガンガン飲んでしまったので最後の一杯。落ち着きを増し、スパイシーな余韻が広がる。素晴らしい…がもう終わり😅

A classic for a reason. Leaves you wanting nothing more.. delivers all the classic flavors of blackberry, vanilla, cassis, plum, oak. Leather too. Very well structured.

2017 4.5pt A Napa Classic. Bold. Silky smooth tannins. Dark fruit forward but not jammy. Sipping this wine is like calling up an good old friend you haven’t talk to in a while. No matter how much time has lapsed, the moment you start taking you pick up where you left off. I call this wine my comfort drink. Paired it with gobhi gosht and sheermal. The evening kept getting better. @[1|40280166|Asif Habibullah]

Dry red wine made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, grown in Napa, California. Beaulieu Vineyard, founded by French-born Georges de Latour in 1900, is as historically significant as any in the valley and, under winemaker André Tchelistcheff, it was one of the first Napa winery to focus on Cabernet Sauvignon as it flagship variety. 18.000.000 bottles of every color are made each year. Aromas of ripe plum, oak, vanilla and blackberry. Full-bodied, with notes of chocolate, oak, black fruit on t

Classic California cab. Starts juicy, notes of raspberry, red berries, cherry,. Left to decant for an hour - opens up to the earthy notes. Tannins got slightly sharper with aging but still perfectly balanced and structured. Long finish, full bodied. Additional notes of plum chocolate red fruit raspberry dark chocolate

First taste was sharp. But after it was decanted and sat for a couple hours it was excellent. I was worried we left it too late. But with patience we were rewarded.

VivinoHemant Dhawan2020-08-20

Please Let This Breathe. I didn’t give it enough time. An hour after we started drinking it was a completely different animal. It was tight and shy initially. It was unable to show its true potential because it needs time. An hour later it was ready to be enjoyed. Beautifully crafted. Bold and elegant not the bite that you expect. It would pair beautifully with simple bbq or a fine meal but it can stand on its on.

2019 vintage, didn't have time to decant. Super smooth and balanced. The fruit seemed tight, may have been due to the lack of decant, to what extent IDK. Tannins were very soft, I prefer something bolder. Drank 3 other wines tonight, it got lost among bigger wines.

Awesome juice. Solid buy and try. Body is amazing. Loved the nose and no need to decant on this wine. Tannins are perfect with the hint of blackberry, cherry, and earthy notes. Not chewy, but right for the palate. Thanks K for the intro. Buying more for the QPR, but could move on to similar offerings. 4.385

試飲会にて。 ポテンシャルが発揮されていない状態だったが、非常にうまかったワイン。 フラッグシップでかなり高額だったため、コストパフォーマンスが低く感じレートは低いが、この日飲んだカベルネでは最高峰。 ※1900年ナパ・ヴァレーのラザフォードに設立されたワイナリー。 創設者ジョルジュ・ド・ラトゥール氏の夫人フェルナンドが、ラザフォードの景色を見た瞬間、「Beau Lieu!(美しき場所)」と感嘆の声を上げたため、そのブドウ園をボーリュー・ヴィンヤードと名付けた。 ボーリュー・ヴィンヤードは、カリフォルニアにおけるワイン生産の黎明期から歴史があり、その発展に多大な功績のあったワイナリー。 1920年代に施行された禁酒法により、多くのワイナリーが閉鎖に追い込まれる中@、政府から特別に許可を受け、教会のミサ用としてワイン造りを続ける事で生き残る。 1938年には、のちにカリフォルニアワインに革命をもたらす、アンドレ・チェリチェフがコンサルタントに就任。 アンドレ氏がボーリュー・ヴィンヤードのコンサルタントとして入り、創業者の名を冠したフラッグシップワインをリリースしたのがこのキュヴェ。

DFWE - alchohol a little dominant here and still needs to settle down for me. Not sure how long this had been open but confident would score better with a full decant.

VivinoDave Endean2018-05-06

Tasty but almost unnecessary. Very Bordeaux esque, less fruit, more tannins and just a very average wine. Subtle blackberry tones but not much pop, not much of anything interesting, just a bit too “meh” for my tastes, not worth the price at all.
