A very beautiful deep dark colour, sign of good maturity. Its nose is seductive and greedy with notes of spices, black cherry, blackberry and violets that awaken the senses. It has a beautiful freshness that enlivens the mouth. The impression of balance is permanent. The tannin is noble, caressing and nicely integrated. It lengthens the tasting but does not harden it. The wine is generous in the mouth. It finishes with a fruity note. This is a Saint-Julien with great ageing potential which does honour to Château Beychevelle.
