Chateau Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse is Robert Parker's desert island wine. He's said so many times since the 1990 vintage. And he is not the only one. Check out these ratings:

"100 points Jeb Dunnuck.

"Cassis, crushed rocks, graphite, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2016 Château Beauséjour, one of the magical wines in this great, great vintage. Possessing full-bodied richness, building tannin, world-class purity of fruit, and an incredible finish, it’s one of those “iron fist in a velvet glove” wines that carries awesome richness and depth, yet just glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. Don’t miss this wine!"

"98 points James Suckling.

"The aromas of mushrooms, tobacco, vine bark, stones and black fruit. It changes so quickly and then comes back. Full-bodied and remarkably balanced, concentrated and structured. Such precision and beauty."

Now here is the rub - what should you do while your waiting all those 20 some years for this 100 point beauty to come around? 

We've got the answer - drink its second wine! That's right, the wine made with the same grapes, same wine making, same barrel treatment, but made to be drunk younger! And we've got it, from this very same 2016 vintage, at a super price. Here it is!
