The wood treatment isn't shy though neither is it dominant on the very ripe yet fresh nose that exhibits notes of dark raspberry

and citrus notes of orange blossom and Meyer lemon

This robust and plush yet well-structured red leads with assertive notes of brambly raspberry

Cheerful and bright

Chateau Beychevelle 1998 sku_2506946-1 The wood treatment isn't shyThis elegant, stylish, well delineated Beychevelle offers finesse and beauty in a medium bodied, firmly structured, flavorful format. Red and black currants, licorice, minerals, spice, and tar notes are subtle, but persuasive. While it does not cut an enormous swath across the palate, the wine's acidity, alcohol, and tannin are well balanced.
