There were dark red hints and scorched earth on the nose. The flavors were brighter in the mouth. The the wine itself had strength the flavors were more delicate. There were mature, wood box flavors around a firm core of red fruit. It was enlivened by salivating acidity. With air it took on a tart lemon aspect. Will last.

Brick in color with a tinge of brown. Aromas of tart cherry, cassis, raison, prune, black pepper and sweet spice, earthiness, and a hint of vanilla. Flavors of dark cherry, cassis, raison, black pepper. This wine still has very good acidity but low tannins.

Weekly tasting group #083; Vertical of 8 vintages Coudoulet de Beaucastel plus a few extra's (@ DJ): In the bouquet licorice and white pepper. On the palate a friendly wine with ripe forest fruits, some strawberry and also rose hips and truffle. Good acidity and round tannin. Really nice to drink now.
