Attractively integrated and well balanced on the nose. Not a humdinger in terms of weight, but very nicely balanced and, like Montrose, goes with the flow of the vintage. I can't see this disappointing anyone. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2009-2017 28 July 2009 |

A very similar note to last time with that Cabernet driven nose with the graphite a little more pronounced, but ditto that slight green edge. The palate is medium-bodied, harmonious with fine tannins, a little gritty towards the finish that just lacks a little length. A wine that chooses to play it safe. I guess the palate is just a little underwhelming after that lovely nose Drink 2010-2020. Tasted November 2008.

Beychevelle is on the rebound as evidenced by what they have accomplished over recent years. A good example of this chateau, the elegant, finesse-styled 2004 exhibits black cherry and cassis fruit interwoven with loamy soil, dried herb, and spicy oak notes. Medium-bodied, elegant, finely tuned, and finesse-styled, it is not short on flavor or depth. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022. Score: 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2009-2022 30 June 2007 |

Red-ruby. Musky aromas of plum, redcurrant, espresso, tobacco leaf and smoked meat. Silky on entry, then firm in the middle, with a slightly dry character to the plum flavor. A tad musky and wild but with no shortage of complexity. "But the 2006 has more structure and body," says technical director Blanc. Score: 88 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2007 |

Shows gorgeous aromas of crushed raspberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. A very pretty wine. The best Beychevelle since 2000. Best after 2009. 23,330 cases made. Score: 91 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2009+ 31 March 2007 |
