Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 19, 2008 - finally a bottle of 1986 that gave a good impression of what a fine Beaucastel tastes like. Previous bottles of this 1986 vintage (not a great year) tasted very dumb, with hardly any nose (rated in the lower 80-ies). this was much better. the color was a very light brick red, the nose showed the beaucastel aroma's of farmyard, not too heavy. on the palate the wine tasted , compared to other Beaucasel vintages, light but with no harsh edges (like previous bottles did). I think it is better to drink this vintage now in stead of keeping it for much longer(decanted 2 hours in advance)
