Patience is rewarded. This beast has mellowed into a dark fruit, espresso and earthy juice that’s a pleasure to drink. Just enough acidity. Tannins have grip and elevate this baby into something big and worth drinking. Those Beaucastel descendants know what they’re doing!

Big black raspberry, spice, violets and dark earth on the nose. The tannin structure is of course big. This wine needs another 8+ years. Black plum, black raspberries, blackberries, dark cherries, expresso roast, black tea, grilled meats, tough leather, tobacco, herbs, spice, dark dry earth, dark florals, nice acidity with a dry dark fruit and crushed mineral finish. Should improve nicely in time.

Was expecting this to be more robustly tannic, but there's an extremely attractive ripe fruitiness that makes the wine inviting even at this young age. Drunk with a burger and a $1 corkage fee.

Blackberry, black currant jam aromatically. If you stuck a big piece of blackberry pie in your mouth, that would describe the jammy ness in the mid palate. Very yummy & a very nice experience.
