Time for something great from France. Young but really enjoyable. Dark fruit, coffee, plum and tea, surprisingly soft tannins but you know this has serious ageing potential. Much more restrained than the California stuff but with an elegance and depth. Certainly one to be wiping the dust off and enjoying in 10 years.

Awesome vertical from 2011 through 2015. 2013 was drinking the best. Great time was had trying all five at once.

Tasting pour at Hospice du Rhône Saturday Grand Tasting. Darren Delmore from Tablas Creek pouring for Beaucastel. So young, hard to judge.
