Château Joanin Bécot
Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes de Castillon, Bordeaux, France
The 2012 Joanin Bécot is dark, open and quite seductive. Black cherry, plum, spice and leather all meld together in a very pretty, gracious wine with soft contours to drink now and over the next handful of years. The 2012 is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Jean-Philippe Fort is the consulting winemaker. This is a gorgeous wine that delivers superb quality as well as value. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

What a great wine for $30. It's concentrated, but velvety soft on the edges. Oiled leather, crushed rocks, dried flower petals, clove, and black currant are all ingredients to the inviting, yet soft perfume. The wine has a concentrated dark purple hue, and firm, yet forgiving tannins - a medley of red and blue fruits, Earl Grey Tea, vanilla, and green coffee bean to the finish. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine and wouldn't mind having a stash of this.. yum! 75% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc.

May 7th, 2017一年くらい前に購入のボルドー、女性オーナーの作。ずっと前にレストランで飲んで以来定期購入しています。うきうき税別2998円だったのが1、2割値上がりしている模様。
10年物ですがまだ若い印象で、右岸らしい柔らかさとパワフルさが同居しています。また買って育てたいワイン。

Excellent balance. Dark with a touch of sweetness.

Black cherry, spice box, and leather flavors, rounded out with a smoky finish. Silky smooth, but still rather austere. In need of cellar time or a good decant. Nice, and will only get better. Might pick up more and let them get pretty.

Earthy, full bodied. Plum notes with undertones of violet. Woody. French oak. Life is good.

Jun 11th, 2017Good structure for a value second label from Calon-Ségur. Good fruit. Blackberry, smoke, and graphite. Some tannins so a short decant is ideal.
