Produced by Beychevelle, this wine is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. The wine underwent 18 months of aging in 70% new French oak barrels.

James Suckling awarded the 2020 Beychevelle a score of 94, describing it as "a very polished and refined 2020 with a medium body, integrated tannins and a pretty texture. Nice currant, light chocolate and cedar undertones. Fresh finish." He suggests that it will be best enjoyed after 2026.

William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also praised the wine, giving it a score of 93+. He noted its "rich and muscular" character with "aromas of cassis, blackberries and baked plums mingled with notions of spices, pencil shavings and toasty new oak." Kelley highlighted the wine's "medium to full-bodied" nature and its "thick and fleshy" texture, with "powdery, generously extracted tannins that assert themselves on the finish."

Decanter gave an excellent review with a score of 96, emphasizing the wine's "scented and perfumed" qualities with "violet tones" and "a touch of liqueur fruit" on the nose. The review highlighted the wine's "sleek" and "delicately displayed" texture, with layers of "liquorice, clove, tobacco," and "bright red fruits and dark bramble fruits." It was described as "clean and compelling" with "tons of confidence."

Jeff Leve from The Wine Cellar Insider also gave a score of 96, describing the wine's opening nose as "a gorgeous display of flowers, chocolate, tobacco, black currants, blackberries, licorice, wet forest floor and espresso." He praised the wine's "full-bodied, elegant, lifted and refined" palate, noting its potential to age effortlessly for three decades.

Jeb Dunnuck provided the highest score of 97, stating that the wine "offers a round, lush, full-bodied style" with "gorgeous aromatics of black cherries, blueberries, loamy earth, chocolate, and spring flowers." He noted its "sweet tannins, an opulent mouthfeel, and riveting purity and finesse," suggesting it will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for 25+ years.

Overall, the 2020 Beychevelle Bordeaux Blend is a well-crafted and highly regarded wine, with rich fruit flavors, a balanced structure, and significant aging potential.
