By Lyle Fass
(Beaucastel) This was ok but really did not ring my bell. 1995 is a not so thrilling vintage with Rayas towering above everything. Very rustic with some serious austerity on the palate and a burnt-ashen character and loads of red fruit. Acidity was average and the wine came across as boring

I was nervous after the first sip, but don’t worry, give it time. 90 minute decant did it. Peaked at three hours.

The last bottle of a long evening, no detailled notes, but a lovely, harmonious, refined wine in a perfect shape. Incredible how CNdP can age, 29 years nevertheless.

Beaucastel Tasting Wunderbrunnen Opfikon
general remarks:
the wines are in general more on the elegant side. red berric. high acidity. almost no wood (they only use 5000+ liters „foudres“) intermixed with some spices and flowery aromas. especially the older vintages gave me some "burgundy vibes". there was some bottle variation (some oxidative bottles), especially with some warmer and better rated vintages such as 1995 and 1999…
the younger the wines got the more similar they became and were hard to distinguish. also hard to tell where the younger vintages will end up in future. highlights were 1991 and 1996 (both 94 points).
in the cellar they use as low intervention as possible. every grape gets fermented on its own. they choose oxidative or reductive ageing for each grape separately according to the characteristics of the grape.
the chateau is owned and ran by the family perrin (7 ppl).
Tasting note Beaucastel 1995:
maggi and intense saw dust, oxidative.
maybe flawed?

Good fill, good looking cork, lots of sediment, benefited from 45 min of decant but somehow this was not as good as previous bottles. While it was enjoyed and serviceable it had something a bit lacking in both the aromatics as well as the mid palate. No oxidation or heat damage and the color was proper... I could not discern any flaws but strongly suspect something was a bit off here. Oh well no great wine only great bottles ...
