Château Beychevelle--Vintage 1966
Saint-Julien, 4me cru classé
Swedish-bottled: Corroded capsules. Bin-soiled and stained labels, one missing. Levels: eleven top, four upper, six mid-shoulder
Tasting note: This time a magnum to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Christie's Wine Department and an equally good bottle at my retirement lunch in Christie's boardroom. Still pretty deep, showing its age but holding well. Last tasted May 2007. **** M.B.
