Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed April 2019This almost 300-acre estate has produced a structured wine. Dense tannins and a rich texture will give the wine intensity and concentration as it matures. A full wine, it shows the power of the Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. Drink from 2023. *Editors' Choice* (RV)

James Suckling
A juicy and pretty wine with berry and chocolate character, a medium body and a clean finish. Clearly better than the 2015.

Vinous
The 2016 Beaumont has quite a powerful bouquet with dense black fruit, boysenberry and cedar, traces of pencil lead developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite spicy compared to its peers, then it reins everything back in for what is a refined finish. Classy stuff, but I would afford this a couple of years in bottle. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London. Drink through 2035. (NM)

Decanter
Black cherry, damson, good levels of juiciness and a sweet edge to the mid-palate. Excellent ripeness and richness to the fruit here. A lovely sense of balance and well-integrated tannins even at this early age. Matured in 30% new oak. A former Cru Bourgeois Superieur in the 2003 ranking, with a deservedly good reputation. There was a generous 50hl/ha yield in 2016. Drinking window 2019-2032. (JA)
