Interesting nose with leather, red fruit, cherries, mushrooms, and forest notes. There's still plenty of fruit on the palate with earthy and forest flavors. Nice finish. This was quite lovely. Fully mature at this point and giving a lot of pleasure!

Wonderfully mellow palate of old leather, fruits of the forest compote and violets. Surprising acidity, fine and still grippy tannins. Medium to full body. Long and complex. Drinking beautifully, will last for at least another decade.

At its peak! Every ingredient came into the right place and in the right proportion! It smells marvellous, with mellow fruits on the palate and a very long finish! Transparent orange ruby colour!

(Chateau Beaucastel) Ah . . . this showed so well. Beautiful Beaucastel secondary nose. Minerals, blackcurrants, tar, barnyard, black berry. Nose was singing and kept changing for the better. Silky palate with a feeling of weightlessness. Soft tannins, ripe fruit and a long finish. Beautiful.
