Winemaker Notes
This is the first time in the estate's history that the naturalalcoholic degree was so high: more than 14.4% for Merlot and12.5% for the Cabernets. Initial tastings showed the wines to bedeeply-coloured and very fruity. The 2008 vintage has turned outto be a pleasant surprise after the challenges encountered duringthe growing season. It seems very likely that 2008 vintage willbe superior to 2007.
Professional Ratings
-
James Suckling
A subtle, refined 2009 with complex aromas and flavors of currant, smoke, mineral and lead pencil. Full body with ultra-refined tannins and a long, long finish. An integrated, beautiful Beychevelle. Hard not to drink now but will be much better in 2017: a wine for long-term aging.
-
Wine Enthusiast
A big, spicy wine, packed with new wood as well as ripe, soft fruit. It's smooth, polished and balanced. Fine tannins add to the structure.
-
Wine Spectator
This has a slightly brawny edge, but feels like it's filling out quickly, with lush, dark fig sauce, black licorice snap and graphite notes taking on more depth as it airs in the glass. Extra black tea and anise hints flash on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 20,833 cases made.
