    May 14, 2023 - W wild morels/pasta. Yummy dish and good selection of wine. This was good but definitely drink up. We had the 2005 afterwards and that was remarkably better bottle, rounder and more powerful. This is medium weight with still decent fruit and length but not super impressive. You taste that it was well made. Anyway - drink up - 1 bottle left

    April 30, 2023 - PnP. Beautiful brick colour, wide yellow/orange edged, 4.5. Dusty slightly oxidized bouquet. +4h: Grenache liqueur sweetness, garrigue, red fruits. Quite intense on the palate, lT, hA, mB, dry, surprisingly high acidity which gives freshness, long elegant finish. Drink now-onwards. This is my third bottle and they have all been different. This bottle was deliciously balanced and elegant but lacking the complex tertiary notes.

    April 29, 2023 - With a necessary 4-hour decant (and to remove a whole lot of sediment), I can report that it is in its drinking window to be sure. Medium-bodied, but boy, is it a classic tasting CDP. All the aromas one expects as well. To be sure, it is time to start drinking any bottles you have.

    April 9, 2023 - The nose shows black olive, garrique, dark cherry. Fruit holds strong on the palate with game and florals. Fully mature with a lingering finish. Kept getting better and better the longer it was open

Rockss and Fruit

    (Chateau Beaucastel) This is stunning!! Incredible soil-driven aromas of wet earth, cherry liquor, bark. Little tight right out of the gates but that bright Grenachey fruit is there with a hint of horsehair and barnyard. But what is very compelling about this wine is the smell of rich, wet soil. I have never smelled a wine that has this type of pure expression of soil. The palate is very primary but just shows dazzling complexity and length. Strong acids and amazing purity are the hallmarks of this bottle. I have to get more of this.
