Parker Review:
A superb effort, the 2006 Esprit de Beaucastel (45% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, and 5% Counoise) boasts a deep ruby/purple hue along with aromas of blue and black fruits, forest floor, and spring flowers, and a fullbodied personality displaying terrific intensity, richness, and length. Drink it over the next 10 to 12 years.
Tanzer Review:
Pale gold. Vibrant quince and green apple on the nose, with energetic citrus zest and minerals adding energy. Sharply focused lime and apple flavors are impressively balanced and clean, with slowbuilding honey and tangerine adding depth. Finishes with impressively pure, vibrant citrus flavors and excellent length. A very fresh blend.
