Château de Beaucastel Coudoulet de Beaucastel 2004   BN#196231 Varietal Grenache, Mourvédre, Cinsault, Syrah Category Red Wine Region France : Rhone : Cotes du Rhone Producer Château de Beaucastel Not currently available. print cellar notes Colour: bright and lively, with great depth. Nose: red fruits. Palate: Luscious, with hints of thyme. Wine Advocate An outstanding effort is the 2004 Coudoulet Cotes du Rhone (the same blend as other vintages, 30% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Counoise). As I wrote last year, 2004 is a terrific vintage for the estate wines of the Perrin family, and this is a beauty with a gorgeous nose of raspberries, dried herbs, pepper, black cherry, other sweet fruits, and even a hint of truffle. The wine has moderately intense tannins, will probably be better with another 1-2 years of bottle age, and should keep for an uncommonly long time for a Cotes du Rhone, 15 or more years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, February 2007. Wine Spectator Burly, with ferrous and game hints leading the way for lavender, hot stone, tar and black fig fruit flavors. The long, ripe, chewy finish shows a hint of mesquite. This could use a little cellaring. Drink now through 2009. Score: 90. —James Molesworth, May 15, 2007.
