品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 pts)
2016 年的Amiral de Beychevelle 呈現中度至深的石榴紅色，散發出引人注目的紅櫻桃和黑櫻桃果香。以黑加侖子和黑莓為核心，散發出薰衣草、鼠尾草和小茴香籽的香氣。酒體中等，堅實耐嚼，帶有可愛的清新純淨，餘韻有礦物感。

Château Beychevelle's Second Wine

The rigorous selection process undergone by the grand vin results in the creation of its younger brother, Amiral de Beychevelle. Despite being made from young vines, Amiral de Beychevelle benefits from the same growing techniques, meticulous sorting, and traditional barrel ageing. It has the same elegance and finesse as its older brother, but reveals its character more quickly, offering wine-enthusiasts the full vivacity of its youth. It can be kept for up to fifteen years, depending on the vintage.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 pts)
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Amiral de Beychevelle offers up compelling red and black cherry scents with a core of blackcurrants and blackberries plus wafts of lavender, wild sage and cumin seed. Medium-bodied with a firm, chewy frame, it has lovely freshness and purity, finishing on a mineral note.
