CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2011 (2)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 x 1 cm. 2 x stained & scraped labels.
Reminiscent of a lighter weight 2009, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up a sweet bouquet of spiced black cherries, plum, truffle, saddle leather and underbrush. Coming from tiny yields (which were down 50% from 2010), this medium to full-bodied 2011 is gorgeously textured and has solid mid-palate depth, terrific purity of fruit and ripe tannin. Relatively approachable and enjoyable even now, it should nevertheless evolve gracefully for 15-20 years. Drink 2015-2031 October 2013 WA 94
