Score 83/100 · Drink 1983, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Quite attractive and fully mature, the 1971 Beychevelle, while not classically structured, but rather loosely knit and too soft, nevertheless has a savory, spicy, fruity clout, with moderately intense flavors and light tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 2/83.

About the producer

Château Beychevelle 1:1
Beychevelle

With greater care in the vineyard and more precision in the winery, Ch. Beychevelle's star is rising. That's in large part due to the leadership of Philippe Blanc and investment by current owners, Japanese brewers Suntory and French wine group Castel.
