Château Beychevelle 2016 (750 ml)
95+ bod. - Wine Advocate
Grand cru classé iz apelacije St. Julien u Bordeauxu, ovo imanje prostire se na 90 hektara i poznato je po svom elegantnom i kompleksnom grand vinu (tj. ovom) koje se proizvodi od najboljih parcela. Obično je to kupaža od 60% Cabernet Sauvignona, 28% Merlota, 8% Cabernet Franca i 4% Petit Verdota.
Ovo vino srednje do duboke granatno-ljubičaste boje u početku djeluje pomalo suzdržano, polako otkrivajući suptilne slane note sušenih trava, suhomesnatih proizvoda i crnih maslina, prije nego što se razvije u bogatu jezgru toplog crnog ribizla, pečenih crnih šljiva, želea od crvene ribizle i kandiranih ljubičica. Poteklo iz odlične berbe, ovo vino se može kombinovati s raznovrsnim klasičnim mesnim jelima.

A grand cru classé from the St. Julien appellation of Bordeaux, the estate spans 90 hectares and is renowned for its graceful and complex grand vin (i.e. this one) which is made from the best plots. It is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, this vintage is a little broody to begin, opening slowly to reveal subtle savory notes of dried herbs, charcuterie and black olives before breaking through to a profound core of warm cassis, baked black plums, red currant jelly and candied violets. From an excellent vintage, this can be paired with a wide range of classical meat dishes.
