Beychevelle appears to have handled the 2011 vintage in an intelligent manner, producing a soft, round, attractive, medium-bodied wine that, while not terribly deep or powerful, is well-balanced with excellent equilibrium and lots of dusty, loamy soil notes interwoven with black cherry and plummy fruit. This pretty St.-Julien can be drunk over the next decade.- Robert Parker Jr. (04/2014)

Vivid deep ruby. Perfumed notes of violet, orange peel and sweet spices complement blackcurrant and blackberry coulis on the enticing nose. Juicy, spicy and youthfully tight, showing a distinct peppery nuance and a hint of cocoa. This midweight appears to be shutting down in the bottle but shows very good depth for the year. A promising Beychevelle.- Ian D'Agata (07/2014)
