Stinky nose; light but not weak structure. Going great with turkey.

Lovely mature redfruit aromas, still some structure, medium-bodied, long finish, very fine “off” vintage of Beaucastel!!

From 375. Huge amount of sediment that most of the usual dark pigmentation of the wine is gone ... looks like Rayas. The barnyard funk is there but blows off in a few minutes. Very good depth with spice and hints of garrique and fruit. Wow 30 year old half bottle!

My lord! Tobacco, bacon, smoked notes of with just a hint of spice. One of those bottles that makes you want to pop open another one right away. AMAZING! Do NOT decant, enjoy the development.

Medium ruby, lovely mature notes, soft yet full and long, well-balanced, really fine for a so-called off vintage in Chateauneuf, beautiful wine!!
