Château Beychevelle 1986
Saint-Julien, 4ème cru classé
In original wooden case, damaged lid. One corroded capsule, some slightly damaged. Good appearance. Levels: six base of neck, five top, one upper-shoulder
Tasting note: While quite outstanding and deserving to be in any conscientiously stocked wine cellar, the 1986 Beychevelle does not quite have the extraordinary concentration and potential for longevity that I had thought it would. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best Beychevelles in the last 30 years. With its black/ruby colour and huge bouquet of roasted fruit, this full-bodied, concentrated, rich wine should not be drunk before the mid-1990s. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3Rd Edition (1998)
