90

"In total contrast, the 2009 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red represents the essence of Provence in its notes of ground pepper, new saddle leather, lavender, kirsch, garrigue, and abundant red and black fruits. This complex, evolved, luscious red begs for a bloody grilled steak. With a creamy, medium to full-bodied texture, this gorgeous, complex, evolved wine should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years."

90 Wine Spectator

"This dark and alluring red delivers nicely layered cherry preserves and blackberry cobbler notes, backed by black licorice snap and smoldering tobacco flavors on the lengthy finish. More polished and forward than usual, but this has the stuffing to cellar mid-term. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now through 2014. 1,325 cases imported."

90 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhone Report

"A beautiful Côtes du Rhône, the 2009 Coudoulet de Beaucastel, coming from vineyards that border the northern edge of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, possesses an inky, opaque purple color to go with deep, brilliantly ripe aromas of blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis, spice, ground pepper, flowers, and sappy garrigue. Surprisingly voluptuous and rounded on the palate, yet with fantastic concentration, excellent purity, and a dense, layered mouth feel, this medium to full-bodied beauty will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and have over a decade of prime drinking."
