2004 Beaucastel (from Magnum)

WINE TALK

Cracked this over a lovely dinner (rack of lamb) with friends this weekend. Decanted for 2 1/2 hours prior to first tasting. Initial nose yielded almost nothing. Very smooth on the palate with the classic wild herbs, nice long finish. Still has a long long life ahead of it. Was just surpised how little the nose developed over the 4+ hours the bottle was open.

Also finished the night with a 1999 SQN Mr K DBS which was absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the note - I really liked this when I had it next to the '05 at release, at which point the aromatics beat the '05 for me. I’m thinking more time and smaller format will see it right
