(Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape) Very dark garnet color; very lifted, pepper, graphite, garrigue nose; tasty, pepper, tar, tart black fruit, charcoal, licorice palate; more peppery than usual, suggesting more Syrah and Mourvedre in the mix with this vintage; needs 3-4 years; medium-plus finish

Same as last time: round, harmonious and fully developed. Nice and ripe on the palate. Silky finish. Wouldn’t recommend to give too much air, nose on decline on day 2. Drink up.

Prefect cork. Some sediment. Slightly brown rim.
Spicy black fruit aroma with notes of cedar shavings and leather. Ripe red and black fruit flavors with a long, spicy, peppery, chocolatey finish. Mature - notes of mushroom and forest floor throughout. Complex, interesting, smooth and well balanced. There were some alcohol notes initially but they dissipated with air.
Consumed over 4 hours and the last glass was the best, but started showing well around 2 hours. Give this plenty of air.
I do not think this will improve further. Drink soon.
