Chateau Instant Becot Bordeaux 2022
DOZEN: $475.20 or $39.60 each
From the in form crew at Beausejour Becot, Instant Becot is a label from down the hierarchy but, it hits with plenty of regional punch and an uncommon level of ripeness and detail. Far from being a block of red wine you might expect at this price, this merlot dominant St Emillion leads with ripe black and red fruits, while the dollop of cabernet franc lends a lilting violet, earl grey tea aromatic. It's brings lovely lightness to the darker tones of the underlying fruit and puts you frimy on the right bank. Some lead-pencil oak provides seasoning and the structure is enough to keep the show tight and energised. As I say, an atypical quality at this level and while you can cellar this for 5-10 years it's lovely steak night drinking right now! MICHAEL MCNAMARA
