Châteauneuf-du-Pape--Vintage 1981
Rhône, Beaucastel
Levels: five 2.5cm and one 4cm; two nicked labels, bin soiled labels
"One of the all-time great classics, the 1981 is fully mature and should be consumed. It's a big, sweet, candied fruit bomb offering notes of smoke, pepper, dried herbs, truffles, leather, cedar, as well as black and red currants. Full-bodied and opulent, it is one of the most delicious, complex, and stunning Beaucastels ever made. Anyone who has magnums of this wine has the equivalent of liquid gold. Out of regular bottle, I would recommend consumption over the next several years." Robert Parker, eRobertParker Only (Jan 2003)
