Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin--Vintage 2000
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
Tasting Note: The 2000 Châteauneuf-du Pap- Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a blend of 60 Mourvèdre, 20 Grenache, 10 Counoise, and 10 Syrah, the standard blend for this cuvée except for the 1998, which had 60 Grenache and only 20 Mourvèdre. The 2000 possesses an impenetrable black/purple colour as well as a sumptuous bouquet of melted licorice, creosote, new saddle leather, blackberry and cherry fruit as well as roasted meats. Sweet and full-bodied, with great intensity, huge power, and a finish that lasts for 67 seconds by my watch, this is an amazing tour de force in winemaking. Even in a flattering, forward-styled vintage such as 2000, it will need 7-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040. 97 Points; Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 145 (Feb 2003).
