Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 03 Jun 24
Deep ruby red, with nuance and movement to the colour, signaling its St Julien finesse. This is a wonderful example of the quaity of 2016, still in primary fruit mode, although with plenty of freshness and juice, waves of crushed mint, hedgerow, blackberry and cassis fruits, tannins pretty muscular at this point. Harvest October 3 to 18, 60% new oak for ageing.
Drinking Date: 2036 - 2044

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 23
The 2016 Beychevelle has a very intense, slightly more introverted bouquet than other 2016s that I have tasted: blackberry, incense, cedar and light graphite aromas emerging with time. This is quite Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a well-built and structured Beychevelle with ample freshness - more than the 2010 tasted alongside. Based on this showing, the 2016 might be entering a closed phase, so cellar it away for several years. Tasted at the Beychevelle vertical at the property.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2055

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 27 Jul 22
Made from 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Beychevelle is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes barreling out of the glass with boisterous notes of crushed black plums, boysenberry preserves, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of mocha, black olives, smoked meats, and cumin seed. Medium-bodied, the palate is densely laden with black fruit preserves and savory layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and fruity.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2048
