  If you can't afford Chateau Beychevelle 80€ wine like me, then you buy its 25€ second wine.
  My favorite and strong aromas of blueberries, black currant, black cherry are here! What else? Plum, blackcurrant, vanilla and minerals, smoke
  The taste is soft and polished. Juicy, ripe red cherry, cranberry, blackberry. Very long finish with spice and red fruits. Very good balance with acidity and tannins.
  I think this wine is at its peak. Velvety texture, very drinkable.
  My only complaint - it goes too quickly from my tongue to my throat. It's not sticky if I may describe this feeling.
  But otherwise this wine would cost 80 euros 😎
  
  2014 in St.Julien got 95 points!
  Outstanding. Still tannic, youthful or slow to mature.

  During a 2014 walkabout arrivage tasting, no tasting notes given, only selective comments. In general I did not walk away excited after sampling ca. 40 wines (to be fair, all the big weights were missing). In a nutshell, while the vintage is pleasant and fresh, it is often too lean, lacking charm and aromatic depth. Still, Bordeaux being Bordeaux, the wines are not made for immediate drinking so, I don't see the point in buying them now. There will be plenty of them in the market in 2024 when they reached their peak and prices then will probably still be relatively attractive given the release prices.
