DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The 2009 vintage has many unique characteristics; and the degree of alcohol has never been higher. Furthermore; both the tannin and polyphenol levels broke all records in 2009. However; thanks to beautiful acidity; the wine remains fresh and well-balanced. It is tremendously fruity (with blackcurrant; black cherry and very ripe blackberry nuances) reflecting just the right degree of maturity in the grapes; without any overripeness. The wine is very full-bodied on the palate; but also well-structured and silky. The oak is understated and elegant. While there is plenty of tannin; this is quite delicious and without any noticeable astringency; which bodes well for good ageing.
2009 Chateau Beychevelle displays not only finesse and balance; but also enormous power. It can undoubtedly be considered one of the estate's historic vintages; and we will be delighted to compare it with other great years in the future.
