Last bottle of one of our favorites. Based on the last two, I think this is just past peak and would recommend drinking up if you're holding any. — 12 years ago

Holding up nicely! Bit of menthol, a little fruit hanging on and notes of tobacco. Silky tannin and a touch of orange rind on the palate. — 11 years ago

Very soft and light for a beaucastel, but the leather and pepper are holding down the fort. — 12 years ago

Pleasing and actually holding up quite nicely. Preferred it to the newer vintages in the vertical. That's not surprising hahaha — 12 years ago
