Château Beychevelle 2020 has a bright purple colour. It is a generous wine that is surprisingly accessible even at this early stage. The nose offers seductive notes of blackberries, black cherries and

This cru bourgeois estate has produced a generously rich wine. Dense tannins and balanced acidity come from a texture that offers dusty tannins and ripe blackberry fruits. Drink from 2021.

Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the richest Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches provide extra complexity.

This older Cabernet dominant vintage has well-preserved acidity, supple tannins, and elegant alder accents. Finish is long-lasting ⋅ Pleasant freshness ⋅ Well-preserved acidity.

Rated 98 - A stunning wine for this vintage although it's still a bit shy on the nose (more spice than fruit showing than now). There's wet earth, too, but on the palate it's all subtle blueberry & black cherry fruit, buttressed by firm tannin.

Each glass features complex aromatics with hints of truffle, smoke, earth, tar, cassis, spice and leather. The wine is elegant, refined and sensuously balanced.

Aromas of glossy, spicy oak and plush, ripe dark plums with hazelnut and tarry nuances, too. The flavorful palate delivers in assertive and bold style with a juicy and intense surge of fruit, holding long into the finish.

A touch of spicy toast contrasts with the melon and grapefruit flavors, smoothly ripe texture and nutmeg aftertaste. The wine is concentrated and full in the mouth.

Rich and full of character, this has white peach, fleshy nectarine and soft citrus. An enticing, mouth-watering white wine and one. Strongly recommended.

Deep and intense crimson robe. Fine nose of ripe grapes, with elegant toasted and vanilla oak aromas confirmed in the mouth. Elegance, balance and harmony.
