Aromatics of new leather and dried fruit. Not your average Côtes du Rhône as you would expect from Chateau de Beaucastel. More full bodied than expected to go with our chicken dish. Far richer than Guigal’s version of Côtes du Rhône. — 14 days ago

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of hibiscus, cloves, and raspberries; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of red plum, maraschino cherries, and fresh asphalt with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense with balanced fruit and structure. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 2 months ago

2023 vintage. Screw cap. Trader Joe’s selection. Have picked up a few bottles of this every year over the last decade just to have as haus wine-esp during the holidaze. This is the best vintage I’ve had. Structure. Fruit. Accessibility. It has rolled at $7.99 a bottle as long as I can remember. Grabbed a bottle without checking the price but assuming it’s still $10 or less. Drinking like it’s a $25 bottle. Picking up more this week. 11.18.28. — a month ago
