this finished with moderate bang and pop a couple of hours later

This is also brooding and reticent with an intensely earthy nose of both red and dark pinot fruit that is trimmed in hints of game

Sweet and expansive on the gently tannic finish

Beaucastel, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions earth and a whiff ofTime has been kind to this wine, as it has really come on strong with bottle age. Crisp, classic and fresh, with a kirsch, spice and herbed, tannic profile. Classic, with loads of bright, clean red fruits, age it a few more years for additional nuance, or pop a cork if you prefer more of a classic, bite.
