  Bordeaux night: Think I liked this more than others did but then again I am a sucker for nose over palate. Beautiful, explosive aromas of coffee, spice and berries, rare to get such an intoxicating nose in Bordeaux. Palate was suave and balanced with toasted oak notes and dark cherry fruit, but just lacking a little depth to be a complete wine.

  This is unusually developed for a 1995 wine, and has reached its optimum drinking window. The nose is glorious and deeply aromatic with blackcurrant, beef blood, and old leather. Likewise the palate is excellent with an integrated mouthfeel, and good balance and depth. The finish is good, but on the shorter side, and prevents a higher rating. As per Dream's note, Beychevelle gets there in the end; just look at the superlative 1982.

  This is a beautiful wine just beginning to emerge from its slumber with excellent depth of black cherry fruit. A bit crunchy and rustic in the style of the vintage but the finish is superb with an amazingly complex spice character with notes of cedar, cigar box and allspice. Given enough time, Beychevelle delivers. 94+

  Beautifully matured Beychevelle enjoyed at the Chateau. Obviously mint condition.
  Showing tertiary notes of sweet tobacco. Still nice sweet ripe fruit as well. Beautiful mix between mature, fresh and vibrant.

  Last bottle and no regrets. Never delivered up to expectations, keeping an unpleasant dose of acidity, overriding otherwise typical Bdx aromas. Possibly the wrong lot, but if this was representative for Beychevelle's 95 then keep fingers off.
