Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 15, 2012 - An absolutely brilliant Chateauneuf, the 2009 Chateau de Beaucastel is a classy effort from this well-renowned producer. The nose exhibits massive dark fruit with a strong tone of the typical red fruits and 'freshness' associated with Mourvèdre. But do not be mistaken there is also a perfect balance in the nose: the oak and fruit are superbly integrated. The palate is full and lush with ample fruit, but also elegant with utterly refined secondary tones of violets emerging after a while. Acidity, oak and fruit all play in harmony. This wine is really dependent on the food it is served to, be sure to have ingredients with a rich and full taste - preferably red meat with a red wine reduction. (score is 95-96)
