Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2017

WineSaint
Outrageously concentrated and built for decades. Dense aromas of blackberry liqueur, violet and roasted coffee beans lead to a weighty, structured palate. Waves of dark fruit and exotic spice build through a commanding finish. The tannins are formidable and unyielding. Needs serious time. Drink 2030-2055.
