94 / 100"The 2021 Beychevelle is a strong effort, exhibiting aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with cigar wrapper and fresh mint. Medium to full-bodied, bright and fine-boned, it's deep and layered, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a saline finish. This wine only improved over the five times I tasted it."

"Darkly herbal, spiced and perfumed nose. Supple, fruity, forward and lively, this has an initial vivacious and pulsing energy that settles giving some green pepper, eucalyptus and cedar notes as well as liquorice and clove which then dominate the finish. It starts well, with such pace, and you feel the fruit has been well worked with tannins that are silky and fine. This has density and chew which I love as well as structure and backbone wine overall finesse. Great potential here."

Tasting Notes
A beautifully fragrant nose, more on the dark berries and herbal notes, with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, eucalyptus, dried tobacco and cedar. The palate is full and deep, with lively acids and fine, powdery tannins. A beautiful texture balanced by the vibrant structure and freshness. Flavours of liquorice, ripe plum, black and red fruits and baking spice. An interesting, delicious wine that will age very well. Fantastic effort from Beychevelle this vintage.
