Beaucastel CNDP

I was recently reminded of how amazing Beaucastel CNDP is. Decant for at least two hours, use a deep open wine glass (even a cab sav size) and enjoy. For those who haven't heard of Beaucastel CNDP, over to the critics...


Beaucastel is a pillar of quality in the Southern Rhone, producing wines of the highest quality in that region. The brothers that run this operation have followed their father's insistence of a high proportion of Mouvedre in their wines – something that gives them a unique appeal. Typically high in tannin and savoury aromas, Beaucastel produce wines for the long term.

Nose of black berries, truffles&  licorice. The tannins were described by RP as "sweet tannic". Its full-bodied and extraordinarily complex. 2007 is so damn delicious im kicking myself i only bought 2 cases. 2000 is even better. At any price this wine is to be sampled.
