Note di degustazione
The 2015 Joanin Becot is blended of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, aged on the lees in 60% new and 40% one-year-old barrels for 16 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with crushed red cherries and black raspberries on the nose with nuances of underbrush and bay leaves. The mouth is full, rich and a little rustic with firm, chewy tannins and a long, earthy finish.

A year in, year out value that should be bought by readers is the 2015 Château Joanin Becot and it’s 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from the Côtes de Castillon region of Bordeaux. It boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as medium to full-bodied notes of ripe dark fruits, licorice, toasted bread, and spice. With a rounded, sexy, mouth-filling style and no hard edges, it’s a terrific value to enjoy over the coming decade.
Super-ripe black cherries, plums, spices, new leather and sweet French oak are pushed forward in the 2015 Joanin-Bécot. This is one of the more overtly ripe wines of the year. Today, the tannins are also a bit unpolished. If the wine comes into balance it may merit a more positive note in the future. This shows the extreme ripeness of Merlot in 2015.
