Beaucastel, Cotes Du Rhone Coudoulet other_regions_australia (from La Rue au Vache)Winner, winner, chicken dinner. This wine is a steal for the money. It showed great in a blind tasting beating numerous, more expensive wines. Rich sexy textures, layers of ripe, sweet, red and black fruit, cherries galore, griotte and herbal aromas were made even better with the long, fleshy finish. Not only is this a steal for the price, but it's drinking great today and it should be even better with a few more years of bottle age.
