France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
I felt there was something a little off in this wine as the smell of wet cardboard persisted. Underneath, was a feminine profile of strawberries and earth. Too bad. Older bottles of Beaucastel can be a true pleasure when showing well.

My last bottle of 6. Good showing. I really like the 200 vintage. not a hot mess as some of the other highly touted vintages. Love that macerated strawberry note.

Great showing. Touches of purple fruit and garrigue, yet light on its feet. One could tell this used to be a tighly wound beast, but now has mellowed into a sophisticated rendition of CDP.

waxy style honeyed taste profile. Some heat, but not much. getting a touch flabby. Not my thing, but was happy to try.

tightly compact and thinking this needs more time, but was pretty sauve in its delivery. no rough edges, and very enjoyable.

light rendition of CDP. Tasted like a beaujolais to me. Crunchy fruit - which I like a lot - others at table didn't care for it.

Young, tightly wound. tough to compare to others that were further developed and showed more nuances.
