I just love Beaucastel! I found a bunch of morels on my property and thought, what could be better than morels and Beaucastel. It didn't disappoint. Deep, foggy red with hints of brown. The nose is wet metallic, with stewed vegetables. My husband gets a tart Raspberry with tannins. I get tartness on the side of my tongue, with forest floor or mushroom. Also a hint of black cherry. My husband gets some cocoa. It continued to open over 3 hours. Some metal flavors came out, with more intense stewed vegetables. It went very well with the pork in morel mushroom sauce. Soft and drinkable now. I wouldn't wait much longer to drink it.

Very light straw color. Lemon, lime, a little turpentine, stone on the nose. Maybe nectarine. I get green apple and lemon flavors. Tart. My husband gets minerals, lemon and unripe nectarine. It's a very nice summer wine. It went well with food.

Deep, foggy red. Nose is cherry and herbs, a little reminiscent of the cough syrup from my childhood. My husband gets bell pepper and pencil shavings on the taste. I get some baking spices and can't wait to drink this wine with BBQ in Sweet Baby Ray's. I also get some bell pepper. It has an unusual balance of sweet and dry mouth feel. Very enjoyable with food.
