The 2013 Beauregard does not quite match the modest potential it showed in barrel. It is open-knit, forward, quite well defined and lively on the nose, a little ephemeral perhaps but opening nicely in the glass. The palate is foursquare on the entry with dry tannin. There is a vein of greenness here that you can abide by at first but it becomes more noticeable towards the attenuated finish. As a consequence, this Pomerol feels a little jarring. It is not a terrible Pomerol by a long way, though winemaker Vincent Priou has made better wines in recent years at this estate now co-owned by the Cathiard family of Smith-Haut-Lafitte.
