Beychevelle 2014
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Real concentration, good spice, deep and rich, clear vitality. This is an excellent Château Beychevelle, with roundness and richness to the fruit without sacrificing its Medoc typicity. It opens beautifully, unpeeling through the glass to show cedar and smoked rosemary notes. It was a small crop at 38hl/ha, with the highest ever percentage of Merlot used in the blend due to difficult fruit set and a low yield for Cabernet Sauvignon. Despite this, you would be hard pressed not to enjoy this 2014. 5% Cabernet Franc makes up the blend.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2014 Beychevelle checks in as a Merlot-heavy blend of 51% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest equal parts Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This deeply colored 2014 offers loads of ripe black cherry and smoky blackberry fruit as well as an undeniable minerality in its charcoal, toasted spice, and graphite aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, good concentration, notable tannin, and a fresh, classic style, this age-worthy 2014 will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two-plus decades.
