title: Château de Beaucastel 2007 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: At first glance, this is not particularly impressive; it's slightly herbal and rustic, with a raisiny edge to the fruit. But this really improves with air, fleshing out on the midpalate and losing the raisiny notes in favor of plum and savory notes. Give it four or five years in the cellar and drink it over the next 15 or so.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
