Châteauneuf-du-Pape Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin--Vintage 2005
Rhône, Chateau-bottled: Perrin
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The 2005 Beaucastel Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin represents the essence of Beaucastel. A super-concentrated, somewhat over the top style of wine based on 60 Mourvedre, 20 Grenache, and the rest Counoise and Syrah, they only made 4,000 bottles in 2005. The wine has an inky blue/purple color, a more dramatic bouquet than the regular cuvee, consisting of asphalt, crushed pepper, fresh red beef, tar, truffle, and loads of blueberry, blackberry, and cassis. The wine is very full-bodied, extraordinarily powerful, frightfully concentrated, and very tannic and backward. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+. (96-98) points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #173, October 2007.
