The 2020 Château Beychevelle is a heady, opulent wine, with notes of blueberry and lots of dark fruit and dark chocolate. The palate is seamless, with just enough freshness to balance all that fruit weight.
Sweet-berry and tobacco character with blackberries and violets. It’s full-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a fresh finish. Very fine at the end.
Smoke, grilled almond on the nose, even a touch of rubber from an edge of reduction. This has depth to black chocolate and bilberry fruit, it is well balanced and seductive. Enjoyable, it's pretty broad shouldered but it sits well within the successful run of vintages at Beychevelle. A yield of 47hl/ha. 18 months ageing. 55% first wine.
Cask sample. Combines black fruit with an attractive gravelly quality on the nose – petrichor, perhaps? Long and elegant on the palate. The mineral element gives attractive and immediate complexity.
