Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 2010 (75 CL)

Deep garnet colored, the nose of the 2010 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) is tiring, with signs of oxidation giving way to a core of plum pudding and balsamic with a waft of fried herbs. The full-bodied palate is laden with oak and chewy tannins, with a tart line and herbal-laced finish. While I felt this bottle was OK, there is the possibility that this could have been a random oxidized bottle, therefore I’ve used a question mark for the score. (LP,3/2020)
