Rich, roasted fruit, but nicely balanced, not as deep or complex as the great 1989 Beaucastel from last week, but quite good!! — 10 years ago

Had this with '98 Beaucastel & '98 Vieux Telegraphe. This was my favorite of the three. — 10 years ago

Almost the anniversary of my first Delectable entry when sitting outdoors at a wonderful restaurant in Gigondas under a tree drinking the 2008 vintage of this wine with all the family. This is 70% Grenache with the rest made up of Cinsault Syrah and Mourvèdre. The further south the higher usage of Mouvedre until Bandol right on the Mediterranean coast where it can be 90 to 100 % because of its higher tolerance to hot conditions. Chateau de Beaucastel where I visited a year ago uses all 13 permitted varieties with the highest being Mourvèdre at 30 %. They have increased this % over the years because of warmer conditions at vintage lessening the Grenache % so alcohol levels do not get out of control. Love this very savoury style of wine. 18. — 10 years ago

Wow. Pulled this off our shelf while enjoying 2011 Ch de Beaucastel and after an hour of enjoying both, we are so impressed with Seam Mourvèdre. Not that these are the same wines in any way, but we just loved the purity of fruit, the mouthfeel and overall enjoyment we get from the Seam wine. Yay, Paul et al. — 11 years ago

Even though it is a "celebrity wine". Beaucastel has done a great job with this rosé. This one on the banks of the Rhone in Condrieu. — 12 years ago

Good. Probably not fair that I had Beaucastel right before this one. — 10 years ago

Also enjoyed the 2007 Produttori Barbaresco Pora, 2005 Chateau Beaucastel VV Blanc, and 1998 Henri Bonneau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée Celestins. Fantastic night of wine. — 10 years ago

Might have liked this more that '98 Beaucastel the night before. Is that ok? — 11 years ago
