Châteauneuf-du-Pape--Vintage 1989
Rhone, Château de Beaucastel
"The sumptuous 1989 possesses an intense black/ruby purple color. The nose offers a veritable smorgasbord of jammy cassis, Provençal herbs, Asian spices, fruitcake, coffee and hickory wood. The wine is sensationally concentrated and well-balanced, with soft tannin and enough acidity to provide balance and freshness. Full-bodied, with layers of fruit and glycerin, it can be drunk now because of its lavish richness, yet it should age for 20+ more years. It should exceed the quality of the superb 1981." Robert Parker, Wines of the Rhône Valley, 1997.
