Description
The 1969 Beychevelle is fully mature and scores and average of over 92 Points on Cellartracker. A typical review is "Garnet colour. But surprisingly dark and red for its age. A leafy nose. Cigars and green vegetables. High acidity. Medium bodied. A lean palate. Fruit has subsided. Quite secondary and tertiary now. Definitely time to drink up but has aged gracefully." Cellar Tracker review.
