(Chateau Beaucastel) Floral nose with lots of black licorice, tar, mineral. Very aromatic. Seems much more mature on the nose than I would have thought. Just getting towards secondary land. After a while the cows came home and the barnyard was present .Soft and silky palate with gorgeous fruit .Not the most concentrated Beaucastel but very gulpable. I would give it five more years so you can get into that cool Beuacastel secondary and tertiary land.
