98: Fassprobe (17/20): Intensives Bouquet, viel Cabernet-Noten, Cassis- und Cabernet-Würze dahinter. Im Gaumen ebenfalls eine tolle Aromatik, Brombeerenfinish, viel Fleisch und Körper. Ein toller St. Julien! 03: Aufhellendes Granat, leuchtend, recht dicht in der Mitte. Berauschend, süsses, nach Caramel, Vanille und reifem Merlot duftendes Bouquet, Sandelholz. Im Gaumen zeigt der Wein viel Frucht, Brombeeren, samtige, ja fast buttrige Tannine, ein sehr erotischer, früh genussreifer St. Julien. 17/20 austrinken (2003 - 2014)

This elegant, stylish, well-delineated Beychevelle offers finesse and beauty in a medium-bodied, firmly-structured, flavorful format. Red and black currants, licorice, minerals, spice, and tar notes are subtle, but persuasive. While it does not cut an enormous swath across the palate, the wine's acidity, alcohol, and tannin are well-balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.
