There is ripe red fruit on this, brioche, nuts, and good complexity.

Good Champagne flavor of yeast and oak. As a BdB, it is on the lighter energy-driven style, while still possessing a depth to it that I don't usually find in an NV.

Slightly oxidative in nature, there is some funk along with a touch of sweetness. This seems classy, and the style does not resemble Champagne much.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite NV champagnes. From the beginning, the nose is toasty. There is yeast and lemon. This champagne is big and bold, and yet the chardonnay seems to keep it in check. This champagne took on weight and became richer with air exposure, and warming up.

For me, this is very in-your-face sauvignon blanc, with tons of grapefruit.

I agree with other notes on candied cherries and juicy fruit. This was surprisingly fruity to me, with a bubble gum component to the palate.

I found this to be an acceptable chardonnay with significant oak and not that interesting. 88-89

A small pour at a tasting. This is consistent for the producer and this bottling. It seemed fusely. The acid and sweetness have great balance. The ripe golden fruit is very showy right now. If you like them young, there is no reason not to drink this now.

This is a wonderful taut white burgundy. The minerality of wet rocks dominates. There is the essence of golden fruit, and it is not that fruity. There is great balance here.

I don't think this was decanted. Almost primary, lots of ripe raspberry and cherry. Maybe a touch of earth. Needs time. Unscored.

To me, this has divine ripe raspberries, and that's all. Fruit-forward right now, but the fruit is stunning. I'd like to taste it again in 3-4 years. Unscored.

I do not know if this was decanted. It was completely in the zone. Savory, beefy, bacon, rich and balanced. Blueberry dominates for fruit. I'm not sure if the current release prices are justified, but this bottle was impressive.

Consistent with the last bottle 1.5 years ago. This was quite complex from the beginning. It is classic Beaucastel, with tobacco, earth and garrigue. This wine is not heavy or alcoholic, but the profile is more full-bodied.

This was drinking very well for a young Beaucastel. I feel that a few more years will allow this wine to turn the corner. Garrigue, stones, anise, good structure and shows a lot of fruit right now.

This was drinking better than I anticipated. Thankfully, this wine still has a very traditional CDP profile. At this age, you wonder if it will be in a dumb phase, but this bottle was not.

This wine was a little pickley. Other than that, wonderfuly balance and savory. These traditional Spanish producers are real gems.

Pop and pour, this bottle was slightly muted. I kind of forgot about it in my bag with some freezer packs, so it was served too cold. Even after warming up, it was charming and balanced, but didn't have the depth that previous bottles have had. Either this bottle had faded, or it was manhandled by me.
