6/16/2020 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 95 pointsGreat Cab, full bodied, lots of fruit with a strong backbone of tannins. Drinking well but likely can go for a long time |

12/10/2020 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 94 pointsgreat juice. Well balanced, with good fruit balanced with tannins and acid. Lots of ripe red fruit, but will develop over time Try again in a year |

12/9/2017 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is going to be a great wine...but its still very young and a bit rough. Give it a year or two for the flavors to merge and it will be fantastic... |

6/24/2018 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 93 pointsGoing through a bit of a dumb phase...should probably wait another year or two before trying another bottle...still a great wine, but just a bit restrained |

11/6/2016 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 95 pointspretty fantastic wine for something newly bottled, with a reputation of being a bit harsh when new. There is none of that here, its rich and smooth, with lots of ripe fruit and yet a good balance. It is wonderful |

11/19/2017 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is a pretty great wine...deep red color, tons of fruit with a strong backbone behind it...left open for a couple of hours which clearly helped. |

5/23/2020 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 90 pointsNot as fresh as the earlier bottles...slightly unbalanced, may have been the phase it was in but was not as good as other bottles from that vintage (this was my first one) or later ones |

1988 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
5/20/2016 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 90 pointsA bit over the hill. Not technically flawed, but a bit thin and flat. Not unpleasant, but lacking the verve that Beaucastel usually shows. If this is typical of the 88s, then its time to drink up |

1990 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
12/21/2013 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 92 pointsI probably didn't let this sit long enough after decanting, only about 1 hour. A very fine bouquet, not at all like earlier drinkings, but great texture and balance, a great example of an older CNDP |

2000 Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet de BeaucastelRed Rhone Blend more |
12/26/2014 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 88 pointsa bit thin, disappointing for a wine that had great promise |

12/20/2015 - jswine15 Likes this wine: 90 pointsDrinking better now than a year ago. A very subtle wine, with the flavor of Grenache and Syrah, but muted. Garnet colored, flowers on the nose. Not a big wine, but drinking well. |
