The bouquet expresses floral scents

The palate is full of succulent raspberry fruit and the finish is rich and long

particularly grapefruit and passion fruit

The tannins have a hint of dust or chalk

nothing says Hyland Pinot Noir quite like the Coury Clone

2023 | Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape | Rhone Hogue Cellars The bouquet expresses floral scentsA deep, quite herbal expression, with liquorice and crushed blueberries to the cassis fruit. Full bodied, powerfully fruited, dense and deep. Really mouthcoating, intense fruit. The tannins are ripe, fine and plentiful, all saturated in blackberry juice on a long finish. Certainly one of the more successful Chteauneufs this year. Will age well. A Mourvdre led expression of Beaucastel it contains more than usual, at least 35% and probably more.
