Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2020 375ml Half Bottle Rated 97JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 97
Very dense black-fruit aromas, but also licorice, an entire microcosm of spice and a whiff of smoked bacon. Very dense and meaty with an incredible tannin structure that enables this to be simultaneously very big and elegant. Super-long finish with enormous mineral freshness. Drink or hold.

Wine Tasting Notes
Magnificent deep-color of an intense ruby-red. Typical of Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge, the nose is rich and complex but very fresh, with an opulent aromatic bouquet dominated by notes of fresh fruit and spices. Full,-bodied, soft, eminently silky, this very elegant wine reveals a superb, dense structure on the palate, very fine tannins and gourmet aromas of fresh red fruit, currants and noble spices. The finish has great length, ample and harmonious. A fruity vintage with great aging potential.
