Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(121993)
I have always felt this wine to be one of the more successful Medocs from the 1966 vintage. At a tasting in November the wine exhibited attractive cedary, herb, and cassis scents, medium-bodied, ripe flavors, fine balance, and soft tannin in the sweet, elegant finish.

I liked it in cask and have liked it consistently since then. It developed misleadingly early, its style suiting the vintage.

Château informations

Beychevelle

Chateau Beychevelle is a classic Saint-Julien exemplified in its roundness, richness of flavor, and power. The harmony of the greatest classic Medoc, which deserves to be more than fourth grand cru classé. Beychevelle also has a second wine called Amiral de Beychevelle. Beychevelle also has another Saint Julien with the pretty name of Le Château Moulin de la Rose (Estate Mill of the Rose). Chateau Beychevelle one of the purest gems of seventeenth century Medoc, but it is equalled by the exceptional quality of its wine. At full maturity after at least 10 years, the wine of Chateau Beychevelle is smooth, supple, balanced and exceptionally pleasant, in a word: classic, like the architecture and gardens of the castle.
