Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 04 Feb 26
Approaching its drinking window although still with some austere edges to shake off, rose petal and cassis, mint, great St Julien typicty and balance, tobacco leaf and cigar box finish, lovely. 60% new oak for ageing.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2040

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30 Nov 18
The 2016 Beychevelle is comprised of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It spent 18 months aging in 50% new and 50% second use barrels. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it is a little broody to begin, opening slowly to reveal subtle savory notes of dried herbs, charcuterie and black olives before breaking through to a profound core of warm cassis, baked black plums, red currant jelly and candied violets. The palate is medium-bodied and delicately played with a quiet intensity of tightly wound nuances and fantastic freshness, finishing with a lingering savory lift. This latent beauty will require a bit more time than most 2016s, but it promises to overdeliver to those prepared to wait. Around 19,000 cases were made.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2055

Tasted blind. Purple fruits and lots of come-hither opulence followed by some green leafiness. One of the more immediately charming St-Julien 2018s. (JR)
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2039
