(Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape) This was a victim of this horrendously hot and dry vintage. Jammy, black and overripe fruit. Some heat showing and just tasted like liquid raisins. That's what happens when you harvest raisins, you get raisin juice. I love Beaucastel but not this year.

This bottle was slightly oxidised although drinkable. I had a wonderful bottle only a month ago so there is bottle variation.

I had considerable reservations about this wine - previous bottles (the last in 2022) having been rather disjointed. But this bottle was very good. 5 hour decant and served at 16c it had wonderful balance and freshness. Plenty of fruit left but not at all heavy - a pleasant surprise give the vintage. There is a burnt edge to the fruit - not unpleasant however. Plenty of life left on this showing..

From 375 ml… Wild bouquet, minty-menthol, whiffs of vintage port like figs and incense, lifted with a touch of spirit. Spicy, mentholated palate, quite light and bright with some kitschy-rubbery layers, not much fruit or structure left. Interesting, intense and long, but probably was better before the fruit evaporated.

Similiar experience to my notes in the summer of 2023. Thoroughly enjoyed with great company.
