2005 Chateau Beychevelle 4eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 1x75cl

CRITIC REVIEWS

Neal Martin

The 2005 Beychevelle is improving in bottle. Quite intense on the nose, it offers slightly darker fruit than previous bottles, with cedar and a touch of espresso, though there is still a little rusticity. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a rich, slightly muscular entry, a smear of dark chocolate and a structured, grippy finish. It needs time, but this is beginning to coalesce nicely and should drink well for longer than I previously envisaged.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The Grand Vin, the 2005 Beychevelle is a gorgeous wine, with plenty of creme de cassis, floral notes, underbrush and forest floor. It is sweet and medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannin and beautiful texture and purity. Drink it over the next 20 years.

Dark crimson. Rather muddy nose. Round fruit juice with not much framework in evidence. A tad dull.
