I tasted this yesterday at the store before buying a bottle. I was surprised to find a few second delay before the flavours started coming through with strong fruit but lacking the robustness and depth I am accustomed to in Beaucastels of other years. I plan to drink it after a couple of years.

very nice nose and balanced wine with some nice complexity. Finish is a bit short. Should drink well through 2017.
