Château Beychevelle
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Faded pyrazines in the nose that grow in the finish. Stewed black fruit, beautiful aged wine with so much life left.

Tasted 6 bottles back to back with zero bottle variance. Savory, singed cedar, hoisin, and intensely aromatic. Plenty of time left.

Very nice aged Bordeaux. Probably slightly better a few years ago but not necessarily over the hill. Excellent aromatics, super smooth tannins, lots of secondary flavors. Great pairing with chicken at Le coq rico.

This was a treat. Started off with no fruit on the palate, with great leather and earth flavors front and center. After a bit of time out of the bottle, the dark fruit started to come alive. Silky, balanced, and well-structured.
