CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2005 (2)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 1 x 1 cm. 1 x 2 cm. 2 x scuffed labels.
Showing notes of blackcurrants, black raspberry, truffle, damp earth and cedar, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth, it needs another 3-5 years to reach the early stages of maturity, at which point it will hold for another decade or more. February 2015 Drink: 2017-2035 WA 95
CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2006 (1)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 1 cm.
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 (3)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 x 1 cm. 1 x 1.5 cm. 1 x scuffed label. 1 x stained label
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
