Lobenberg: Fra grøntsager til slåen, fra sorte kirsebær til jordbær. Meget kompleks næse. Smukt rund, elegant, rødfrugtagtig mund med medium længde og meget fin mineralitet. Totalt polerede tanniner. Meget elegant Saint-Julien. Lidt for lidt kompleks til at være rigtig stor, men det er en fornøjelse. 92-94/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Beychevelle 4eme Cru

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Only 52% of the production went into the 2017 Château Beychevelle (they normally shoot for 60%), and the blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc that’s still aging in 60% new oak. This inky purple-colored beauty gives up loads of blue fruits, black cherries, underbrush, and a touch of minerality in a medium to full-bodied, pretty, elegant package that’s very much in the style of the vintage. This estate has been on a serious roll lately, and the 2017 isn’t going to break the trend. Tasted twice. 92-94/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Beychevelle 4eme Cru

-- Wine Enthusiast: This wine is ripe with dense black fruits backed by firm tannins. There is sufficient structure, although the fruit and balanced acidity take center stage. Drink this attractive wine from 2023. 93-95/100

Suckling om: Chateau Beychevelle 4eme Cru

-- Suckling: Very fine tannins already with a solid core of blackberry and blueberry character. Hints of flowers. Full-bodied, well-integrated and tight, not to mention fresh and long. 93-94/100

Galloni om: Chateau Beychevelle 4eme Cru

-- Galloni: The 2017 Beychevelle is absolutely gorgeous. Creamy and beautifully layered on the palate, Beychevelle exudes exotic richness in its ripe red/purplish berry fruit. Even though the 2017 is rather flamboyant in style, it retains quite a bit of brightness to play off its more extroverted leanings. Beychevelle was impressive on the several times I tasted it. 92-95/100
