Hard to imagine this is just the coudoulet. Black raspberry, leather, straw, some not-unpleasant brett, warm earth. Smells like your favorite baseball glove. Soft textured, resolved. Maybe a bit past peak, but still terrific.

This has no business being half as good as it is. Effortless power and grace, savory, garrigue, rubbed herbs, silken, feral, rusty tractor in an old barn...as good as the '89 Beaucastel CDP is, this is but a step behind it.

Not blown away, but still has some body left. Not a perfectly cellared bottle and definitely a little tired, but pleasant enough
