A blend of four varieties, 30% each of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, with 10% Cinsault, the 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Coudoulet De Beaucastel should easily be an outstanding wine, and readers could do far worse than to have a case of this in the cellar. Black raspberries, ripe cherries, flowery incense, and pepper all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant, mouthfeel, and terrific purity.
