This is a medium ruby wine with medium(+) intensity of ripe plum, prune, red currant, black cherry, violet, anise seed, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, leather, and forest floor notes.

Tannins are ripe, fine-grained, and well-integrated. Alcohol is high!!! 16% ABV.

This is a ripe, full-bodied, and high octane wine that has great potential for further aging. I’m excited to revisit down the road.

Delicious even though it’s past its prime. Richer than other CDP. Nice aroma and a well balanced palate. Gentle and subtle but very tasty. Definitely get more! — 16 days ago

Backward and somewhat closed aromatically, shows dark fruits and leathery flavors on the palate, really great balance, another lovely middle-aged CdP. — 11 days ago

Liked this one quite a bit. Showing off the Grenache more and makes for a different experience for older Beaucastels. — 17 days ago

Notes from December 2022 still apply. Pale to mid lemon in colour. Aromas of apple pie this time around. A medium to full bodied white - a note of rockmelon (cantaloupe) a good white for winter - Medium minus acid with good length. Drinking at its peak. — 24 days ago

9.5

Gorgeous, traditional and generous.
Not too sweet, not too rustic; right in the middle 🎯
Soft notes of plums, black cherries, beefstew, garrigue, brown spices and a whiff of hearty umami nuances like porcini, sundried tomatoes and vegemite/soysauce.
Well balanced, medium bodied and full of detail and finesse. Great stuff. — 20 days ago
