Alex & Priya rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Alex: The 2006 Beaucastel is going through a shut-down phase at this time, but has all making the underlying material for a great, classic example. Locked under a wall of crushed rock minerality, hints of pepper, clove and licorice peek out. The palate is powerfully built, again awash with minerality, dried spices and licorice. There's a wallop of dark fruit here, but wait another 5 years at least for it to show through and sweeten. Fine length, tannin and acidity in unison on the finish, this is a solid classic, that you can count on lasting well for a dozen more years. 92 pts

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
