Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2016
Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
9.4
WineSaint
Inky and imposing, with crushing density that coats the palate. Black fruit, garrigue, leather and graphite build in waves. The tannins are formidable. This needs serious cellaring to reach its potential. A powerhouse built for decades. Drink 2030-2055.
