  1. Chateau Beychevelle Saint Julien Grand Cru Classé 2007

    Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

    Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate and complex.

    Showing black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and light forest floor.

    Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

    This is a fabulous 18 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Julien. Rich and balanced. Elegant and fruit forward. Chocolaty and spicy.

    This First wine from the 4th Growth is drinking beautifully now, and not showing that much age. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

    I had the 2005 vintage not too long ago and this 2007 vintage is drinking better now. Well balanced and complex.

    Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with a big piece of steak too.

    A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

    13% alcohol by volume.

    93 points

    $130.
