Jane Anson 94 – "Inky in colour, clear spice on the first attack, this grips on tight and shows lovely slate-textured tannins, along with bilberry, black cherry, white pepper. Tannins that are very much in control, even heading towards strict at this point. Impressive, a great quality if serious Beauregard. First year with Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, on a 70ares plot of deep gravels, a tiny but important slice of this 17.5ha property. 45% new oak for ageing, with 15% aged in 500l oak caks, 36hl/h yield, which for the year was pretty good for Pomerol. Tasted twice. winemaker Guillaume Fredoux, overseen by director Vincent Priou."
