1989 Chateau Beychevelle, Saint-Julien, Case of 12 btls

“There is so much tobacco and red fruit on the nose of this wine. Exotic and decadent. Full-bodied, with a sleek and racy tannin structure and fresh acidity. Refreshing and clean, yet mature and wild. Still one of the big surprises of the vintage. — ’89/’99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009).” JS for WS 93Pts May 2010
