It's a buoyant fruity wine but deeply mineral too
Enjoy with chicken in a mushroom sauce
The wood treatment isn't shy though neither is it dominant on the very ripe yet fresh nose that exhibits notes of dark raspberry
The finish continues that run of dry spiciness
Chateau Beychevelle 1998 sku_2506946-1 It's a buoyant fruity wineThis elegant, stylish, well delineated Beychevelle offers finesse and beauty in a medium bodied, firmly structured, flavorful format. Red and black currants, licorice, minerals, spice, and tar notes are subtle, but persuasive. While it does not cut an enormous swath across the palate, the wine's acidity, alcohol, and tannin are well balanced.
