Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Beychevelle 2020 Saint Julien :
Rich and muscular, the 2020 Beychevelle offers up aromas of cassis, blackberries and baked plums mingled with notions of spices, pencil shavings and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, thick and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit framed by powdery, generously extracted tannins that assert themselves on the finish, this is a more powerful, chunky Beychevelle than the suave 2019.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Beychevelle 2020 Saint Julien Folgendes:
A very polished and refined 2020 with a medium body, integrated tannins and a pretty texture. Nice currant, light chocolate and cedar undertones. Fresh finish. Drink after 2026.
Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt ihn im März 2023 wie folgt:
The Grand Vin 2020 Château Beychevelle is a tiny selection representing just 55% of the total production of the estate. The blend is 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot which spent 18 months in 70% new French oak, hitting 13.5% natural alcohol. Surpassing both the 2016 and 2018, this inky-hued Saint-Julien offers a round, lush, full-bodied style as well as gorgeous aromatics of black cherries, blueberries, loamy earth, chocolate, and spring flowers. The vintage doesn't get any sexier, and this has sweet tannins, an opulent mouthfeel, and riveting purity and finesse. While it already offers pleasure, it's going to benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for 25+.
Den Chateau Beychevelle 2020 Saint Julien beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, opaker Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Attraktive schwarze Kirschfrucht, feines Cassis, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, zart mit Lakritze unterlegt. Saftig, frische rote Kirschen, süße Zwetschken, seidige, reife Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, delikater, zugänglicher Stil, balanciert und gut anhaftend. (2028–2045)
James Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Delivers vivid fruit, with an eye-catching beam of cassis, kirsch and plum sauce notes that flow through nicely, supported by a light brambly edge and a well-inlaid graphite spine. The finish is scored by violet and anise as the fruit lingers. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2037. –JM
