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.

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.
