  I have had considerable bottle variation with the 2000, but this bottle was very good. Decanted three hours. Fully mature fruit, quite light for Beaucastel but delicate and delicious. Best drunk at around 15/16 celsius.

  This is my second time having this wine. It really is a special wine. Decanted for 5 hours and drank blind at a tasting. Everyone immediately fell in love with the nose, and began to get down on one knee with the palette! Lollll, Up against some serious other wines (2003 Tignanello, 1995 GAJA) and still came out the WOTN. Absolutely stunning, and I look forward to finding the next special occasion to open one up again. This bottle has forever to go! Just now entering it's beginning stages of the drinking window. Will last with EASE until 2040+

  Brought by a friend to dinner, tasted blind. 14% ABV. Somewhat bricked. Shows its age but still nice to drink. Earthy, mushroom, garrique, red fruit, hints of chocolate still slightly tannic. Only average to below average acidity. Fairly long finish. Fairly complex, fruit fading. Quite tasty with braised lamb shanks.

  21st of 24, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, seemingly unchanged from excellent Jan 22 bottle, fruit still vibrant, caressing velvet touch, splendid length and complexity, plateau, no rush but I'd look to drink over next 5 years. F+ (18).
