April 9, 2010 - My first Beaucastel and a very nice experience - this was drinking incredibly. Very primary with lots of red fruits, figs and tobacco dominating the nose along with a nice dallop of asian spice. Bright and lively throughout showing nice acidity. In the mouth, it was again lively and complex with round flavors of dark fruits, lots of spice -primarily the asian variety- and a touches of tobacco and leather. Delicious and, though admittedly a novice at Beaucastel, I can only see this getting better over the next decade and a half.
