Dark and brooding with wild cherry, dried herbs and earthy minerals building beautifully. This shows remarkable depth and concentration, the tannins firm yet polished. Spice and leather emerge on the persistent finish. Built for the long haul. Drink 2018-2035.

Château de Beaucastel

Beaucastel is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's benchmark estates, long associated with Mourvèdre-driven reds of unusual density and age-worthiness, and whites built substantially on Roussanne.
