Ripe and concentrated, but very sleek, with a remarkably pure beam of cassis and plum reduction flavors. Sweet spice, violet and apple wood notes are thoroughly embedded throughout. Polished and very long.—J.M.
95 Robert Parker
Aged for around 18 months in barrel, 60% new and 40% second fill, the 2018 Beychevelle needs a fair bit of swirling to release classic notes of cassis, plum preserves and ripe blackberries, with emerging suggestions of unsmoked cigars, tilled soil and cedar chest, plus a waft of pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is still very tightly wound, offering finely packed black fruit and earthy layers within a frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. This will need a good 5-6 years to come around and then will drink beautifully over the next 20+ years.

94 James Suckling
Currants and blackberries with crushed stone and fresh herbs. Some flower stem, too. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and linear with firm, driven tannins. This needs four or five years of bottle age to open and come together. Try after 2025.

Château Beychevelle
Situato nella regione Saint-Julien di Bordeaux, Château Beychevelle, Cru Classé, ha una delle etichette più riconoscibili di tutto il Médoc, raffigurante una barca con la vela abbassata in onore dell'ex proprietario della tenuta, il Duca d'Epernon, un ammiraglio francese. Meglio conosciuto come "Barca del drago", il vino è diventato tra i più ricercati del mondo, soprattutto in Cina. Adesso è una grande proprietà di 90 ettari e nei suoi vigneti si coltiva Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc e una piccola quantità di Petit Verdot. Recentemente sono stati fatti grossi investimenti per la ristrutturazione delle strutture di vinificazione, delle cantine e del centro visite. Oggi la splendida cantina, disegnata da Arnaud Boulain e Atelier BPM, è dotata di pareti in vetro che consentono agli ospiti di assistere al processo di vinificazione.
