Château Beychevelle 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Julien)

Online Exclusive

93-95 A strongly tannic wine, powered by a dry core that pushes through the sweet fruit. Great weight as well as tension between the acidity and the dark heart of the wine. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

points

Château Beychevelle 2010 Red (Saint-Julien)

Beychevelle’s style privileges elegance over weight, and such is the case with the 2010. It’s a pure-fruited, ripe and lightly tannic wine, emphasizing a blackberry note. This will evolve relatively quickly, reaching a peak in approximately eight years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

93–95. Barrel sample. This is a smooth, rich wine that’s intensely concentrated and packed with great black-currant fruits. The wine has weight and a sense of structure to support the great fruitiness. — R.V. (4/11/2013)

Château Beychevelle 2003 Red (Saint-Julien)

Price $35

The most beautifully situated chateau, with its great view of the Gironde estuary, Beychevelle is another of those Médoc estates that has found top form after a fallow period in the 1980s and early ’90s. The wine’s generosity, sweetness and fruit is balanced with the carefully crafted structure of wood that underpins it all. Imported by Diageo Chateau & Estates. — R.V. (5/1/2006)

Château Beychevelle 2001 Red (Saint-Julien)

Online Exclusive

Price $70

A harmonious balanced wine, showing fine, fresh acidity. The tannins have closed in somewhat, but you can taste the chocolate, and the sweet character of the ripe fruit. At the end, the acidity gives a fine lift. — R.V. (12/16/2007)

points

Château Beychevelle 2005 Red (Saint-Julien)

Very much in an elegant style, this wine shows soft, almost velvet tannins supporting the ripe fruit. It has richness, a round character masking the dense texture, and setting off the clean red berry fruits and fresh acidity. — R.V. (6/1/2008)
