Score 85/100 · Drink 1986-1991, Robert Parker, Jan 1997
Now reaching full maturity, the 1980 Beaucastel is not terribly concentrated or powerful, but has a soft, fruity, well-developed character, good length, and no tannins or astringence in the finish. Drink over the next 3-5 years. Last tasted 10/86.
