2008 Chateau Beychevelle
Description
Tasted ex-chateau and single blind in Southwold. The Beychevelle 2008 appears to be improving in bottle, even at this early juncture. Sure, there remains some oak to be subsumed on the nose, but it does not overwhelm its attractive aromas of crisp blackberry, cassis and a touch of graphite. It is more Pauillac in style than Saint Julien. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grippy tannins. There is impressive precision and mineralite on the finish. This is an excellent Saint Julien.

Tasting note
2008年的龍船展現了聖朱利安最優質風土的優雅與細膩。酒體呈現中等至深的紅寶石色澤，散發出黑加侖子和黑莓的香氣，並帶有石墨的微妙氣息，風格近似波亞克。口感中等偏重，單寧堅實有力，展現出精確的礦物質收尾。這款酒的平衡結構和豐富香氣，是來自於最佳地塊嚴格篩選的結果，十年後方顯露真章。隨著時間的沉澱，紅色水果和香料的和諧交織已美妙演變。
The 2008 Chateau Beychevelle is a testament to the elegance and finesse characteristic of Saint-Julien's terroir. With a medium to deep ruby-red hue, this wine exudes aromas of cassis and blackberry with hints of graphite, embodying a Pauillac-like style. On the palate, it presents a mid-weight profile with firm, grippy tannins and a precise mineral finish. The wine's balanced structure and aromatic richness are the result of a rigorous selection process from the best plots, revealing its full character after a decade. Enjoy the harmonious interplay of red fruit and spices that have evolved beautifully over time.
