Châteauneuf-du Pape--Vintage 2000
Rhøne, Château Beaucastel
"The opaque ruby/purple-colored 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape offers a profoundly sweet perfume of melted licorice, blackberries, and black cherries backed up by loads of glycerin, full body, and moderately high but sweet, well-integrated tannin. There is a seamlessness to the 2000 that will make it accessible early in life, and thus atypical for Beaucastel. The 1985 behaved in this manner when young, but the 2000 possesses even more stuffing. Like its 2001 sibling, it is a classic blend of 30 Grenache, 30 Mourvedre, 10 Syrah, 10 Counoise, and the balance other permitted varietals. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #145 (February 2003)
