92 points from the Wine Spectator... ‘Best Beychevelle in years. Wonderful floral, blackber-ry aromas follow through to a compressed palate of full-bodied tannins and ripe fruit. Yet very fine and silky on the palate. Best after 2009 (Jan-2003)’ 90-91 points from Parker… ‘A finest Beychevelle since 1989, this floral-scented wine offers notes of blueberries, red currants, minerals, and spice. Restrained, subtle, measured, but beautifully rich, delicate, and fruity, it needs 2-4 years of cellaring, and should evolve gracefully for two decades. How reassuring it is to see Beychevelle produce a wine of such stature. (April-2001)’ Our notes - We love the 1999 and this is even better! 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. It is sweet and intense with licorice undertones, smooth silky texture, velvety with intense cassis and vanilla. This wine is elegant, forward and lush, with ripe, soft tannins that linger on the finish. Delicious! Ready before most others from this vintage. NOTE - This is a pre-arrival (futures) item.
