Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 12, 2008 - A co-worker's Farewell: Stunning. What really floored me about this wine wasn't all the myriad of flavors, both fruits and earths and meats, that filled and swirled around the palate. It wasn't the long, lingering finish, or the beautiful balance. What floored me about this wine was the pure seamlessness of the way it showed on this particular night. Tried this a little over a year earlier, and it was much more aggressive. To me, Beaucastel is the perfect fall wine. It's not big and rich like many Rhones that are better suited for winter. And there's almost a slight hint of decay in the wine that matches the fall season. That sounds bad, but is really quite good. What a beautiful wine. If you've got some, pop one now, because it is in a very happy place. 96-97
