Château de Beaucastel
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Muted plum, blackberry, and an abundance of black olives. Nice herbal note on palate and little spice. Should bang with grilled lamb

Jul 19th, 2020Tar, raisin, soaked fig, cherry pit, wilted violet, hung meat, boudin noir, leather, cinnamon, cocoa powder, honey, truffle, scorched earth, roasted herbs, camphor, black tea. Wears the vintage well. More moderate frame (relatively speaking) showing some consistent grip throughout, surprised by the acid support this has, makes for a plausible argument about whether or not to continue aging. So tertiary and savory right now.
