The 1980 Beaucastel blanc is just cruising along in the cellar, and its lovely pale golden hue really belies its age. Notes of white peach, honeysuckle, hints of white truffle and beautiful fresh herbs are followed by a glossy, textural wine with great cut and crisp acidity, no doubt thanks to the cool vintage. They don't make them like this any more.
