Château Beychevelle 2015 – Saint-Julien, Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, elegant, powerful and offers a slightly tight and mid-size grain. It reveals notes of fleshy strawberry, fleshy raspberry and small notes of fleshy cassis associated with touches of fleshy raspberry, hints of violet, incense, cardamom as well as very discreet hints of toasted, Cuben pepper and an imperceptible hint of lily. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful chew, freshness, tension, an acidulous frame as well as a beautiful, gourmande, finely tight and silky texture. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of fleshy raspberry associated with small touches of juicy red berries, fine hints of juicy/acidulous blueberry, flowers (in the background) as well as very fine hints of toasted, caramelization, chocolate and a subtile hint of caramelized almond. Tannins are elegant, well-built, precise and structuring.
