CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Châteauneuf-du-Pape derives its name from the rich history of the area and its proximity to Avignon. Between 1309 and 1377 seven popes resided in Avignon, the first of whom built a new papal palace. The appellation is large and thirteen different grape varieties are permitted the appellation regulations
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel--Vintage 1989
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
Lot 353 has a wax capsule. In original wooden case
Lot 354 is in original carton
Tasting note: The 1989 is inkier/purple in color than the 1990, with an extraordinarily sweet, rich personality offering up notes of smoke, melted licorice, black cherries, Asian spices, and cassis. Full-bodied and concentrated, it is one of the most powerful as well as highly extracted Beaucastels I have ever tasted. It requires another 3-4 years to reach its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for at least two decades. 97 points. Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com #E2003, January 2003
