Château De Béchaud Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2015 Bordeaux Red Wine, $25.99-$26.99, 90 points, poured deep dark purple/reds surrounding black amoeba-like islands abutting the broad meniscus and a bowl of moderately heavy stained tears.
The aromas were a bit dumb, but what reached me was a lovely potpourri of red fruit, cedar, and flowers.
Showing a near full body with good acidity and drying fine grainy tannins managed to deliver a brighter rendition of the potpourri plus damson plum.
Finished long on syrupy red cherry, easy spiciness, and a sweet-spot 14% alcohol.
Varietals were 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
