The nose of this Saint-Julien investment staple is ebullient and full, with generous swathes of fruit.  No shrinking violet then, it delivers in the mouth – juicy, full, luscious and lithe. The opulent liquid is drenched in dark fruit and ink – that midnight-blue purity that Beychevelle so often boasts. Tannic savour sends it into a long finish and a long life ahead.
