The 2020 Beau-Site is showing just a bit of oak on the nose, though that will be absorbed with time. Blackberry and light licorice aromas percolate through. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshier than older vintages with decent structure towards the white pepper tinged finish. This is a fine Saint-Estèphe that should give 12-15 years' drinking pleasure.
