Better than expected showing for this. A reasonably balanced old Beaucastel with the expected iron and blood. Nice bit of acidity to balance out the fruit that has remained. Drink up now.

France Trip Part 1 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape; 6/16/2006-6/17/2006: Same bottle as Vinsanity. A treat from our hosts at Chateau Talaud over dinner. Light ruby color with lots of amber. This still had quite a bit of life left. Fairly light body, with cherries and flavors of tea that reminded me of the 1983 Beaucastel I had a few months earlier. Fully mature and fascinating.

Clearly, fully mature. Light, elegant, with full game, leather, earth, tea leaf. Subtle wine, though clearly possessing textbook Beaucastel characteristics, though on a lighter scale. A treat.
