Beychevelle 1961 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Fourth Growth Château Beychevelle in St-Julien. This beautiful estate covers 250 hectares of which about 90 are planted with vines. Always one of the more approachable wines of the appellation, Beychevelle has enjoyed a consistent run of good to excellent vintages in recent years, though older wines from top vintages are also well worth looking out for. "Depth of flavour makes this firmly textured wine special. It has enticing earthy, tobaccolike aromas, ripe fruit flavours, just enough tannin and a lingering finish." Wine Spectator, 2006
