2023 Chateau Beychevelle Saint Julien (Pre-Arrival) $21-$50 chewy tannins vie for attention94 96 Points, Vinous "The 2023 Beychevelle is fabulous. As always, Beychevelle includes quite a bit more Merlot than most wines in the appellation, but the Cabernet is especially high here. Inky dark fruit, crme de cassis, mocha, licorice and lavender build in the glass. This juicy, extroverted Saint Julien has a ton to offer. The combination of fruit intensity, acid and supporting structure is superb. The 2023 is showy, but not at all overdone.
