The long, silky mouthfeel belies the latent power in reserve.

An inky\/ruby\/purple color is followed by a glorious nose of blue and black fruits, truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet tannin, buttressing the fruit’s fabulous freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort still displays considerable tannin, no doubt because of the relatively high Mourvedre content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4 years, and last for 25 or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby. Powerful, pungent aromas evoke kirsch, blackberry, smoky herbs and dried flowers. Energetic, penetrating cherry and dark berry flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity and given spine by a tangy mineral quality. A floral quality sneaks in with air, along with notes of allspice and star anise. The finish is sappy, focused and very long, with herbs and flowers lingering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeady with sent of licorice, plums, earth and spice, this wine makes good on all those promises on the palate, and does so gently but firmly, the flavors feeling light but leaving an indelible impression on the tongue.In every way the winefeels natural, effortless, as if it's a simplerepresentation of an exceptional piece of land in an excellent vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, this is not particularly impressive; it's slightly herbal and rustic, with a raisiny edge to the fruit. But this really improves with air, fleshing out on the midpalate and losing the raisiny notes in favor of plum and savory notes. Give it four or five years in the cellar and drink it over the next 15 or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color is dark and deep ruby with purple undertones.  On the nose, the wine very rich in ripe black fruit, cherry, fig and slightly smoky.  On the palate is round and powerful, great balance between the tannins and the body, with notes of red fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Beaucastel has long been considered one of the great wines of France.
