Score 73/100 · Robert Parker, Feb 1996
This wine offered some soft, fruity, light to medium-bodied, vegetal flavors in its first 4-5 years of life, but it is now displaying more tannin and austerity than charm or pleasure. It is drying out and losing what little appeal it once possessed. Drink it up. Beaucastel is imported by Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel. (802) 875-2139
