Wow, this is amazing for a 12-year old Cotes du Rhone. Nose almost reminds me of mature Bordeaux (good shit, not regular Bordeaux). Cedar, earthy, dark spicy blackberry, iodine. Totally resolved and balanced in the mouth, with a remarkable fruit presence for a 12-yr. old. Tannins still there but super soft. Good acids. Just wow.

From magnum. This vineyard is just across the highway from the winery and the chateauneuf du pape appellation, thus cotes du rhone. But made the same way as all of their other reds. Spice, bramble fruit, incense, gravely minerality, medium tannins and nice acid. Should’ve waited, but on vacation, so.. 😁

Blackberry jam, spices, lavender and a touch of earth on the nose, black raspberry, firm tannins and a touch of licorice on the palate

From vines just across the Châteauneuf border. Beautiful concentration, with a hearty, broad inkiness. Blueberry, plum, leather - long and slow.

Great wine to watch the Bastille Day fireworks, loaded with spices and balanced with fruit. Awesome texture and freshness.

Beaucastel has always made my favorite wines. Lush fruit w a little licorice. It has a little of that classic 'meaty' character as well. A great value from a renowned producer.
