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
這款2008年的龍船展現了波爾多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，散發出黑加侖子和醋栗的香氣，伴隨著淡淡的葉香和香料味。口感上，這款酒展現了中等酒體結構與適度酒精的和諧平衡，尾韻滿意。儘管現已展現出優雅的複雜性，這款酹酒在未來十年內將進一步展露風采，並將根據年份繼續美好地成熟。
The 2008 Chateau Beychevelle from the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation is a testament to the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux's finest terroirs. With a medium to deep ruby-red hue, this wine exudes aromas of cassis and blackcurrant, complemented by leafy touches and a hint of spice. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance of mid-weight structure and fair alcohol, culminating in a satisfying finish. While already expressing a graceful complexity, this wine promises to reveal further character after a decade and will continue to mature beautifully for several decades, depending on the vintage.
