2006 Chateau de Beaucastel Rouge, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1x750ml

Robert Parker 91

The Beaucastel ’06 has a well defined nose with dark berried fruits, black olive, fennel, sage and a touch of wild honey. It displays superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, just a little dryness on the sidelines, perhaps closing down a little with a salty tang on the finish. Very fine. Tasted February 2011.
