Chateau Beychevelle Amiral De Beychevelle Saint-Julien 2019 750ml

Ever since it was first produced, and down through the various vintages, Château Beychevelle has reflected the elegance and finesse of Saint Julien's finest terroirs.Graceful and complex, with a tremendous aromatic richness, Château Beychevelle is made from the best plots in the vineyard and undergoes a rigorous selection process.It reveals its character after about ten years, and can be kept for several decades, depending on the vintage.

Chateau Beychevelle can be enjoyed on the young side with at least a few hours of air. However, the wine is usually better with 8-12 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best vintages, the wine will be at its best between 10-35 years of age after the vintage.
Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 2-4 hours give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Tasting Notes
A Saint-Julien elegant and expressive where the flower joins the fruit, with finesse, flexibility and a great aging potential, which can be counted in decades.
Licorice, tobacco, cassis and black cherry scents pop with little effort, escorting the Taste to an end note of chocolate-covered cassis and dark, red fruits. With soft tannins and the structure to age, this is a richly-textured, round and elegantly-styled wine. Produced from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
