Inky and brooding, with layers of garrigue, crushed herbs and dark plum unfolding gradually. The palate shows impressive density without heaviness, as mineral-driven acidity carries flavors of blackberry liqueur and roasted meat. Firm, ripe tannins provide excellent structure for extended aging.

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.
