A Beaucastel that has always perplexed me is the 1978. Immediately prior to and after bottling, I thought it had a mid-ninety point potential. While still intact, with a deep ruby/garnet color to the rim as well as a sensational bouquet, the flavors are slightly austere, angular, and tough. It could easily last another 15-20 years, but I don’t think it will ever be opulent or charming, or provide the great pleasure I seek in a fine wine.
