The 2012 Château Beauséjour Hostens is a classic Haut-Médoc that has matured beautifully, offering the elegance and complexity that only bottle age can provide. Aromas and flavors of black currant, ripe plum and black cherry are layered with cedar, tobacco, graphite and baking spice, leading to a silky palate with refined tannins and a long, balanced finish. Gracefully evolved yet still vibrant, this Left Bank Bordeaux is an excellent companion to roasted lamb, grilled beef and aged cheeses.
