Château Beychevelle 1981 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. Château Beychevelle is a Fourth Growth Bordeaux producer situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. This beautiful estate covers 250 hectares of which about 90 are planted with vines. "As I noted in my article on the estate a few years ago, the 1981 is completely mature today, but remains sound and still offers up a good glass of claret. The bouquet offers up scents of dark berries, cassis, a fine base of Beychevelle dark soil tones, cigar ash, a hint of violet and some mature nuttiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, suave and velvety, with no rough edges, good focus and nice balance on the complex, though not particularly long finish. This is a very pretty wine for drinking over the next several years." John Gilman, 2018
