Parker Score: 90
Parker Review: A wine of considerable nobility and breed, the 2001 Beausejour Duffau possesses a classic perfume of crushed stones and blueberries. This delicate, elegant offering is clearly a wine of terroir. Its subtle nature, pure, stylish flavors, and striking aromatics make it easy to dismiss in a blind peer group tasting, but do not make that mistake. There is a lot going on here, and the wine’s personality as well as complexity are stunning. It should hit its prime in 1-3 years, and drink well for 12-15.
Steve Tanzer Score: 87
Steve Tanzer Review: Deep red. Slightly stewy aromas of currant and plum. Fat and chunky but decidedly dry; offers more breadth than definition or sweetness of flavor. Finishes with big, dusty tannins that reach the teeth.
Wine Spectator Score: 89
Wine Spectator Review: Ripe fruit aromas of plums with hints of leather follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Silky. Refined.
