CHATEAU BEYCHEVELLE 4EME GRAND CRU CLASSÉ SAINT JULIEN 2016

Tasting Notes:

The aromas to this are phenomenal with oyster shell, blackberries, iodine and black truffles. Full-bodied, layered and so refined and intense. Love the texture and intensity. Chalky. Amazing. Goes on for minutes. 

Made up of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Beau-Sejour Becot is matured for 17 months in 85% new and 15% one-year-old French oak. The scent opens with notes of crushed black plums, blackberries, and black cherries, along with hints of cedar, lavender, and spice box. The color is medium to deep garnet-purple. It has a solid backbone, a long, peppery finish, and a rich, velvety, and indulgent mouthfeel. It is medium to full-bodied, and pairs well with red meats and poultry.

"In 2018, the Léoville-Barton, a top Bordeaux estate, produced a top-notch wine at a reasonable price. The 2018 Léoville-Barton is a masterpiece of Saint Julien style, with a bouquet of opulent blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum fruits, cedar, cocoa, violet, herb, and toasty oak tones. The flavors are luscious and attractive, with exotic nuances of herb, cedar, cigar-box, cocoa, and baking spice." - Wine Review Online
