Lot 459 Details
CHÂTEAU BEYCHEVELLE 2010 (2)

Saint-Julien. 4ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked & scraped labels.

Showing better from bottle than it did from barrel, where it was also impressive, but not quite at this level, the 2010 Beychevelle displays sweet black currant, black cherry, foresty notes, medium to full-bodied texture with impressive purity and moderately high tannins (although they’ve softened considerably during the wine’s upbringing in barrel). Layered and rich for a Beychevelle, this wine should easily withstand three decades of cellaring. I would give it another 3-4 years of bottle age, but this is a fabulous effort from the first chateau one sees upon entering the appellation of St.-Julien. February 2013 WA 94
