Château Beychevelle Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Pierre Costa

Had it for my 40th birthday. It didn’t disappoint. It had very fine tannins and acidity. Lots of leather, cigar and cedar. Fruit almost gone.

Better than expected!

Diego de la Peña

Stunned by this spectacularly young wine. Perfectly balanced, elegant and smooth. Nice plum, ripe cherries, backed strawberries and a delicate eucalyptus finish. @Delectable Wine

Byron Fuller

Nose initially rich burnt pudding fruit with strong green capsicum across it, eventually balanced with 2-3 hours air. Palate very St Julien, bit spicy & merlot dominated. Less drive & life ahead than the Domaine de Chevalier alongside but delightful wine. Lighter mid-weight, best alongside lighter fowl.

Wow, still had tannins, still a lot being said on this vintage... Incredible fruit and depth... Wishing we had more

Ned Clark

Oh fun!

Very smooth with soft tannins- aromatic and just a bit of bite from solid acidity. Friends are off to Bordeaux in September this will lead them to a beautiful property. Very good claret...
