Tasting note: The 2005 Beaucastel Coudoulet Cotes du Rhone is another outstanding example of this Cotes du Rhone made essentially across the border from Chateauneuf du Pape. Notes of tapenade, licorice, smoked herbs, and meat juices interwoven with black cherry and darker fruits are followed by an expansive, broadly flavored, full-bodied wine with no hard edges, gorgeous fruit purity, and a long, spicy, heady finish. This is almost the bottled essence of Provence. Drink it over the next decade or more. (91pts Robert Parker)

Drink: 2007-2017
Tasting note: Deep red. Spicy raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a gentle anise quality adding interest. Surprisingly supple, with deep red berry and kirsch flavors and good finishing cling. A late tannic jolt reminds you that this could use some more time.
