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
