Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Beychevelle is on the rebound as evidenced by what they have accomplished over recent years. A good example of this chateau, the elegant, finesse-styled 2004 exhibits black cherry and cassis fruit interwoven with loamy soil, dried herb, and spicy oak notes. Medium-bodied, elegant, finely tuned, and finesse-styled, it is not short on flavor or depth. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.
James Suckling : Pretty plum and light earth aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean finish. Delicate.
Blend : 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
