St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Soft nose of red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cooked cherries, dark chocolates, light oak, licorice, spices and light herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty 5 year old second wine from Beychevelle in Saint Julien. Elegant and spicy with lots of chocolate notes.
Showing good structure, and a good quality wine. Balanced, complex and easy drinking.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolved.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
