Chateau Beychevelle 2024

VINUM: "Dunkles Rubinrot; expressiver Duft, strahlende Brombeerfrucht, Cassisnoten, kalter Kamin; rund und weich im Auftakt, sensationell feine Gerbstoffe, druckvoll, jedoch nicht schwerfällig, viel Präzision, sehr gute, aromatische Länge. Hervorragend in diesem Jahr."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, spearmint, cedar, cigar box, currants, and a background note of cocoa pop on the nose. The juicy, fresh palate presents a display of black raspberries topped with mint, chocolate, and Indian spices, alongside cherries and black cherries with ease. This leaves a touch of chalk at the end of the vibrant finish. If you allow it a few years in the bottle before pulling a cork, it will be even better and should provide you with pleasure for two or more decades with ease. The wine blends 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. 13.3% ABV, pH 3.57. The harvest took place September 24 - October 9. 58% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2029-2050."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Brombeernote, etwas Nougat, schwarze Kirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, rote Herzkirschen, Johannisbeeren, runde Tannine, gute Frische, bleibt haften, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter mit Reifepotenzial."

ANSON: "Deep ruby cherry colour, this opens with bright plum and blackberry fruits, laced with cloves, white pepper, apple blossom. St Julien signature but the acidity accentuates the tannic grip at this point. Grands Millésimes De France, 41hl/ha yield."
