CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 1990 (1)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 cm. stained label

Two great back to back vintages are the 1990 and 1989. The more developed 1990 boasts an incredible perfume of hickory wood, coffee, smoked meat, Asian spices, black cherries, and blackberries. Lush, opulent, and full-bodied, it is a fully mature, profound Beaucastel that will last another 15-20 years. December 2002 WS 92 WA 96

Quite elegant on the palate with a medium to full body and a reasonably taut structure of medium to high acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins. Layer upon layer of spices and savoury flavours. Long finish. Drink now to 2024. WA 94
