Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone 2009

More people need to drink these sort of wines as they are so easy to like in a medium bodied and food friendly manner.  You could get home from work and crack one, consuming the whole bottle without even thinking or you could take your time with a nice Baron of Lamb sprinkled with garden herbs.  

Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone 2009

If Mataro drove an F1 car it would be Sebastian Vettel as it dominates this wine. It does this in a inviting and alluring manner with plenty of red-fruits and tannic grip to match.  It is the sort of wine that creeps up on you with every sip which adds to the overall pleasure of the vinous experience.   Over the course of the event the team is joined by spring flowers and autumn leaves rolled in warm clay and spice. All of these lovely flavours combine effortlessly with the structure to complete the package. This is the sort of wine I will drink in the short to medium term while I wait for the big guns to rest in my cellar.
