Château Beychevelle--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 4me cru classé
Excellent appearance. Levels: ten into neck, one base of neck and one just below top-shoulder
Tasting Note: This is the finest Beychevelle produced over the last forty years. It reveals the estate's tell-tale elegance in addition to a level of density, muscle, and richness that is rarely found in more recent vintages. A dense ruby/garnet color is followed by a classy nose of black fruits, licorice, minerals, and toast. Ripe, sweet, and thick, with low acidity, medium to full body, impressive richness, light to moderate tannin, and a long finish, this wine is just entering its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for 12-15 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 129 (June 2000)
