March 17, 2024 - A supple, fragrant, amply-fruited nose introduces the 2010 Beychevelle, a wine full of boysenberry, plum, clay, and a hint of potpourri. The subtly smoky and toasty notes suggest the oak needs a few more years to integrate and there's a whiff of Brettanomyces grows increasingly conspicuous with time, but there's no doubt that this is a lovely wine. Clean examples should develop well, reaching a good place by age 20 as suggested by the pace of aromatic evolution and the appealing grippiness of the tannin.
54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot harvested at 45.5 hl/ha between Sept 27 and Oct 13. -

January 23, 2024 - Soirée vins compris. Nez épicé et profond, très enthousiasmant . Bouche serrée mais riche (90). Encore trop jeune mais grand avenir (92 pour son devenir).

January 1, 2024 - Drank on New Year’s Day with some BBQ. Excellent BDX. Still needs a couple hours in the decanter to open up and will continue to improve with age.
