The 1982, courtesy of one Keith Akers. Props. Concentration of fruit is outstanding. Impeccably cellared.

2012: Organic and identical wine making to Beaucastel. Only 4 varieties: 30% Mouvedre. Very spiced, smoky, bright red fruit. Quite a vibrant and juicy style. Lots of black pepper, cloves and smoke on the finish. Seems quite varietal. Juicy red fruit. Good finish, very spiced plum.

2012 is savory, dusty, earthy with cloves, thyme, black pepper and baked fruit. Tannins linger on finish.
