Château Beychevelle

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1953

Quelle belle surprise ce-soir!!! Toujours impressionnant de déguster un vin de 67 ans! Le vin est pas bouchonné et aucunement oxydé....quelle chance!!
Des notes de cuire, champignons sauvages, terre humide, sous bois, feuilles mortes, mine a crayon et cette subtilité de fruits confits qui accompagne le tout. Le vin a un nez remarquable et tres racoleur. En bouche, c est léger et subtile! La finale est longue et dominée par ces belles notes de sous-bois!
En bref, un vin remarquable et une superbe expérience!

1953 vintage needed decades but it’s a low-key 🔥 vintage. Same for Piemonte.
