WA 93

CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2006 (1)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 1 cm. marked label.

Its dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles, camphor, earth, incense, new saddle leather, and loads of peppery, blackberry, and herb-infused, meaty, black cherry fruit. Deep, full-bodied, and dense, with sweet tannin, this explosively rich Chateauneuf is a stronger effort than the 2005, 2004, or 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. October 2008 WA 95

CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2007 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 1 x 1 cm. 1 x marked label.

Beaucastel’s 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out even better out of bottle than I predicted. An inky/ruby/purple color is followed by a glorious nose of blue and black fruits, truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet tannin, buttressing the fruit’s fabulous freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort still displays considerable tannin, no doubt because of the relatively high Mourvedre content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4 years, and last for 25 or more. October 2009 WA 96
