A mature Saint-Emilion from one of the appellation's top sites: Beau-Sejour Becot sits on the famous limestone plateau west of the town, with some clay mixed in, and was reinstated as a Premier Grand Cru Classe in 1996. The 2005 comes from one of Bordeaux's truly great modern vintages, a Merlot-led blend (around 70 percent Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and a little Cabernet Sauvignon) that was famously massive and structured in its youth. Two decades on, it's moving into its prime, with the cedar, spice and dark fruit of well-aged Saint-Emilion. Decant it, or hold it longer if you like; either way this is classic right-bank claret from a benchmark year.

Roast beef, duck confit, lamb, or mushroom and truffle dishes.

Blackberry and cassis with cedar, spice and the savory complexity of bottle age. Full bodied, with tannins now softening and a long, layered finish.
