The wine is based on the dark red fruit, earth, spice and mid-palate richness of Mourvèdre, with additions of Grenache for forward fruit, approachability and lushness, Syrah for mineral, aromatics, and back-palate tannins, and Counoise for brambly spice and acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2007 Esprit de Beaucastel (44% Mourvedre, 29% Grenache, 21% Syrah, 6% Counoise): A roller-coaster of a wine, with powerful fruit, meatiness, and minty lift. The palate is luscious and densely tannic, with a licorice sweetness and an iodine-like minerality giving contrast to the currant fruit. This seemed young still to us, and just starting to hit what should be a long peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prodigious 2007 Esprit de Beaucastel is a blend of 44% Mourvèdre, 29% Grenache, 21% Syrah, and the rest Counoise. A very great wine, very much in the mold of its French cousin, Chateau Beaucastel, the wine has a saturated ruby\/purple color and a gorgeous nose of melted licorice, charcoal, blueberry, and blackberries intermixed with freshly sliced mushrooms, tree bark, and pepper. Spicy, dense, full-bodied, and extraordinarily complex, yet at the same time well-delineated and fresh, it should drink well for 10-15+ years.
