Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin--Vintage 2001
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: The 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a blend of 60 Mourvèdre, 20 Grenache, 10 Counoise, and 10 Syrah. Full-bodied, excruciatingly backward, and nearly impenetrable, it boasts an inky/blue/purple color in addition to a promising nose of new saddle leather, melted asphalt, camphor, blackberries, smoky, roasted herbs, and Asian spices. A huge lashing of tannin as well as a formidable structure result in the antithesis of its more flattering, forward, and voluptuous sibling, the classic Beaucastel. Readers lucky enough to come across this cuvée should plan on waiting at least a decade before it begins to approach adolescence. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040. 99 Points; Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 151 (Feb 2004).
