Deep ruby. Tobacco, ash, graphite, tons of French oak. Pyrazene. Rather juicy and just ripe fruit - mix of dark and red currants, and red plums. Tarter on palate. Very structured. Called it a left bank 2018 Margaux………

The second wine of Beychevelle, the 2015 is medium bodied, ripe with raspberries and some minerality that keeps it fresh. Very decent.

2010 dark ruby with ripe blackberry, tart cherry. Earthy with gripping tannins. Fairly typical 2nd wine of classified growth in great year.

Nice fruit, balanced structure, subtle acidity and moderate tannins combined for enjoyable finish.

I like it. Light but dark fruit and earth. Dig the balance.
