Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin--Vintage 2001
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
Tasting note: The 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a blend of 60 Mourvedre, 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 cuvee 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, February 2004
