90 Robert Parker
A property that seems to be awakening, this St.-Julien leans toward more of a Margaux style. The attractive earthy, floral, red currant, and raspberry notes are impressively intense and complex in the aromatics. This dark ruby/purple-tinged wine displays elegance, finesse, and a beautiful mouthfeel in a restrained, moderately intense, but still classic style with sweet tannins. Tobacco, cedar, earth, and red and black fruits are prominent in both the aromas and the flavors. This wine can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years.

There's lots of smoky oak and roasted coffee on the nose, with red fruits. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins and a medium finish. Well-crafted. Best after 2012. 20,415 cases made. ?JS

Mittleres Granat-Rubin. Eher schwierig anzugehendes Bouquet, medizinaler Schimmer, gekochte Pflaumen, krautiger Schimmer, Blattnoten. Im Gaumen leicht, durch die eichige Süsse etwas versöhnlicher, wenig Körper, wiederum eine knapp reife Frucht zeigend, schlankes Finale. Enttäuscht leider wieder, wie schon so oft in letzter Zeit. (15/20). Rote Beeren und frisch gebackenes Brot, Spuren von roter Pfefferschote. Im Gaumen eher leicht, deshalb nicht den Jahrgangserwartungen entsprechend, Rosenpfeffer und leicht vegetale Noten im Gaumen, sprödes Finale, hier fehlt es eindeutig an Harmonie! beginnen (2013 - 2024)

Château Beychevelle
Located in the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, this Classed Growth, Château Beychevelle has one of the most recognizable labels in all of Médoc. Featuring an estuary boat, the labels show a sail lowered in salute to the estates former owner, the Duc d’Epernon, an Admiral of France. Better known as the “Dragon Boat” wine, it has become one of the most sought after wines around the world, especially in China. Now a sizable 90-hectare property, its vineyards are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Petit Verdot growth. More recently, they have heavily invested into the renovation of their wine making facilities, cellars, and visitor center. Today the beautiful winery, designed by Arnaud Boulain and Atelier BPM stands with glass walls allowing guests to fully partake in the winemaking process.
