From the famed vintage. Outstanding

Dusty, mature, spicy, green, tomato leaf, uninspiring

Conrad Green

Oh wow. Beaucastle is variable but this bottle is a peach. A gorgeous expansive nose with dark gnarly fruit, tobacco, plum herbs. The palate is wonderfully giving, with deep fruit, still fresh, but loads of secondary notes and soft subtle edges. Really long and pure and savory. By a mile the best bottle of this wine I’ve had with none of the thickness, brett or heat you sometimes find here. A treat

Mike Saviage

From a perfect looking bottle with a high fill, not from the leaker batch. Still on the purple side of tawny. Translucent, young and light on its feet. Bright noble nose with high pitched notes of Herbs de Provence, raspberry, rhubarb. Has an animalistic kind of mouth feel, rich and exotic. Evolves in the glass nicely, becomes more powerful with air. Had this many times and this has to be the best of them.

Best 89 Beaucastel I've had. No Brett at all. Holding up beautifully.

Joe Corsini

Still amazingly fresh.
