The volumes harvested enabled a very rigorous selection - around 55% - to produce a grand vin in the tradition of its predecessors. Blend 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgeous aromas of currants, crushed stones, blackberries and flowers. Full-bodied with refined tannins that are long and very polished. Creamy texture. It goes on for minutes. Lovely energy and sophistication to this. Try after 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Beychevelle has a very appealing, quite intellectual, pencil box and earthy nose that unfurls in the glass, taut and focused, the oak supremely well integrated. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely-sculpted tannins, wonderful balance, fresh and mineral-driven with a precise and complex finish. Superb sapidity, this is top notch with a long future ahead. Time to raise my score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDense and concentrated, this wine is layered in dark tannins, rich chocolate and black fruits. The estate is producing richer wines than in the past without sacrificing the Saint-Julien style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing in close to equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with just a splash of Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Beychevelle shows a classic Saint-Julien purity and finesse-driven style as well as notes of red and blue fruits, sappy flowers, tobacco, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, I love its overall balance and purity of fruit, it has silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. This wine always has upfront appeal, but the 2019 will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have 30 years of overall longevity. Best after 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of raspberries, currants, pencil shavings and sweet spices introduce the 2019 Beychevelle, a medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping wine that's fleshy and seamless, with a generous core of fruit, ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with an expansive finish. This is an open-knit, demonstrative Saint-Julien that will offer a broad drinking window. Best after 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark, with plum, açaí and blackberry compote notes, this is juicy and expressive. Features racy wood spice, graphite and apple wood notes, which give this a structured feel through the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
