Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate, #164(4/2006) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2009-2022
Given the performance of this somewhat mystifying but beautifully situated estate in St.-Julien, we might be seeing a resurrection in quality, or at least much more consistency. A beauty in an up-front, supple, sexy style is the generous and savory, dark ruby /plum-colored 2003 Beychevelle. Medium to full-bodied with loads of fruit and glycerin, it is much more approachable than usual, but also generously proportioned and exceptionally well-balanced. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (4/5/2004) Score range: 89-91
Lovely, silky wine with currant, mineral and berry character. Full- to medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a reserved finish. Delicious already.
Decanter Rating:
Floral, but also a touch gamey. Supple and ripe and a bit chocolatey, but very attractive, ripe style. Drink 2009-16. |
