MNSC Rhone Trip Day 4: Beaucastel VV + du Caillou Quartz

Lunch at La Mirande in Avignon.

2008 Beaucastel Roussanne Vieilles Vignes – really big and rich, with intense ripeness, glycerin, beeswax.  Really ripe and alcoholic on the palate.

2009 du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz – good sweet fruit, intense, with forest and pine notes.
