February 20, 2020 - Fantastic wine. Drinking well … again. So smooth and elegant (yes, elegant … for a CdP). Tantalizing berry aromas, figs, tar, earthiness, spices, and freshly ground coffee beans.
Flavours repeat …. dusty drying tannins, licorice coming in at the end with a long finish. Beautifully balanced1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 1, 2020 - Delicious aromas of sweet red fruits and spices. Sweet and intense fruit also in the mouth. Rich, concentrated and impressive. Not very elegant, though.

January 20, 2020 - Nicely evolving 2005 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape ($83 in 2008). Light-mid brick, amber edges; complex earthy, red fruit, floral, Grenache nose; mid-body; balanced; fine flavors; round, semi-chewy finish. w/cassoulet. 17 UC Davis scale, 92 others.
