A nose that exuded an almost citrus freshness, even ripe red apple intermixed with dark berry fruit and hints of leather and spice.
The finish was just a bit warm, suggesting slight imbalance, with the alcohol making itself present. Otherwise, a regreshing wine with a smooth texture and a long finish.

Relatively light hue.
Red fruit (cherry) aromas and a touch of sulfur on the nose.
Medium body on the palate and marked by bitter tannin. Oaky finish. Was this made from overripe fruit?
A clearly disappointing wine at this stage.

Purple rim with a darker purple core.
Rich, fruity bouquet with hints of cedarwood, spice, and cigar box.
Smooth and intense on the palate, developing concentrated flavors on the front of the tongue. Attractive, resolved tannin. Powerful and well-structured with an enjoyable, long aftertaste.
A modern Right Bank wine with very good aging potential.

Deep, saturated crimson color.
Flattering creamy bouquet with hints of blackcurrant, cherry, spice, and nutmeg.
Round and full-bodied with plenty of ripe fruit, cedarwood, leather, and pencil shavings as well as some oak on the middle palate. Firm, well-integrated tannin with good acidity. Dry, fairly short, and disappointing finish.
In my opinion, 1999 Beauséjour Bécot is a good example of a wine (rightly or wrongly) associated with the "Rolland style". A pleasurable wine, but perhaps a bit too "easy".

I sympathized with the verdict during this tasting: the nose was milk chocolate, plum and some spice and the palate was ever so smooth, rich and structured with more plum notes and some blueberry.
I thought it had a very nice finish if a tad heavy.
Some participants noted flower aromas and good underlying acidity. Most picked this as the top wine of the blind tasting!

Coming soon.
