The 2009 Castelnou (80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre) reveals a slightly rustic edge, but once past the jagged tannins and its burly style, the wine exhibits good cherry and loamy soil notes, medium body and sweet glycerin that provides texture and elegance. I don’t think it will improve in the bottle, so consume it over the next 4-5 years. -- Robert Parker
