Château de Beaucastel
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend


A lovely bottle. A little off at first but once that’s blown off this is soft red fruit, resolved pretty stewed plums and dried strawberry. Gentle hints of leather and herbs but very complete and resolved. This is gorgeous, and another great quality bottle without any signs of heat or separation.

Started out brooding and dark fruited for a 38 year old wine. Softened with air and fleshed out to something quite nice.

Legendary vintage of Rhône (North & South) and Beaucastel hit the jackpot! Together with 1981 a wine every winegeek has to drink before you die. At peak but in no hurry at all. 9 down...3 to go....
