Sunday, October 8, 2006 - A terrific mature CdP with very classic old Beaucastel aromas. Medium ruby color with little bricking. Big nose of cherry, menthol and dried herbs and a slightly wild/gamey Bandol-type characteristic. There is some warmth, but it's in check. Very, very sweet on the midpalate with excellent density and a lingering sweet finish that is a bit Ruby Port-like. A fascinating wine that is still holds on to its identity even at this mature age.
