At pop & pour, the fruits almost had a mid berry bubble gum character. That toned down almost immediately. Fruits are ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, baked plums, raspberries, dark cherries, juicy strawberries, chocolate bar to fudge, grilled, smoked meats, black pepper, dark spice, nutmeg, clove, iron pan, black tea, a touch of rubber toy, slight tarriness, dry herbs, roasted chestnuts, tobacco leaf, dry crushed rocks, dry top soil, hints of mint, dark, red flowers, violet’s, nice acidity with a well balanced-structured, stiffly tensioned with a lush finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands on earthiness & spice.
Plenty of life left in this 2012, even in 375ml.
From 375ml.
A very good Rhone producer visited in 2015.

Has a bit of that animal that beaucastel is so well known for lots of mixed berry fruit, wild flowes and herbs still very youthful the 2001 is showing a bit of age some dried meats and an array of dried flowers maybe starting its second stage in life secondary flavors the soils becoming more apparent truffle forest floor after the rains tobacco leaves.
