Jean-Marc Quarin April - 1989
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color, beautiful. Clean nose, medium intensity. Touch of ripe fruit, toasted notes, woody character. Nuances of dried grapes. Vanilla. On swirling, clean and closed. Hint of alcohol. Supple attack. Fleshy. Development on a powerful structure that is both balanced, tannic, fleshy and full of finesse. Very concentrated wine. A powerful and refined style. Classic wine close to the fruit.

One of the best bottles from Beychevelle in a long time. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and aromas of raspberry and mint with a hint of violet. Lead pencil and fruit appear on the long aftertaste.--1988 Bordeaux horizontal.

Better on the nose, with its earthy, tobacco, cedar, cigar box and red plum filled perfume, than on the classic, firm, slightly austere, crisp palate. There is no reason to hold this for further aging.

Château Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle watches over the Gironde at the southern tip of Saint-Julien, where the legend of the "lower your sail" gave it its name and the griffin-prowed ship its emblem. Classified growth in 1855, it draws from its deep Garonne gravels a predominantly cabernet sauvignon blend, complemented by merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot, and owes its nickname of "the Versailles of the Médoc" to its pleasure château.

Vinified plot by plot and aged in oak barrels, the wines combine silky tannins, dark fruit and great ageing potential. The estate's landmark vintages range from 1982 and 1986 to 1989 for the great classics, then 2005 and the 2016 vintage, the first to emerge from the new plot-by-plot winery. L'Amiral de Beychevelle offers the most accessible expression of the estate.
