Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. No formal notes due to the setting. The 2018 is a fairly classic expression of Beaucastel with a mixed bramble fruit set, underbrush, herbs and spices in lovely balance. Good structure. While still on the youthful side, the 2018 is already showing well and was an awesome accompaniment with a wagyu burger. Drink now through 2038.

A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre Syrah and Cinsault. Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet black fruits, earthy pepper spice and floral notes. On the palate complex flavors of plum, cherry and blackberry, with notes of oak, leather and forest spice. Full body, firm tannic structure, well balanced with long finish, good now but will last another decade. Outstanding.

While drinking it so young was not ideal, after a few hours of decanting it was still humming nicely.
