From the good 1997 vintage and scoring 89-91/100 parker points, this stunning red wine is "one of the most seductive and forward young beaucastels i have tasted since the 1985. The blend was 35% mourvedre, 30% grenache, 10% counoise, 5% syrah, 5% cinsault, and the rest other southern rhone varietals. The deep ruby color is accompanied by forward, attractive aromatics consisting of black raspberries, cherries, licorice, floral, and herb scents. The wine is fruit-driven, with less structure than usual, but luscious cassis, licorice, and blackberries inundate the palate with no hard edges. A seductive, supple-textured, medium to full-bodied beaucastel, this wine should drink well young, and last for 15 or more years." Drink now - 2015 this wine is shipped in a presentation wooden box with a silk liner. |
