Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2011
Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.2
WineSaint
Outrageously dense and perfumed, with concentrated cherry liqueur, crushed violets and exotic spice that builds magnificently. The palate shows remarkable power wrapped in silky, ripe tannins. Dark fruit mingles with graphite and mineral complexity. Built for decades of cellaring. Drink 2025-2045.
