2007 Beaucastel
2007 Beaucastel
Dear Rhone Lover
We have two things that need no
introduction: the 2007 Vintage in the Rhone
Valley and Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape. Put
those together and it's something you absolutely
cannot pass-up! We sold-out of our first
allocation very fast, so we just found another
small parcel from a trusted source in Europe.
Pre-Arrival, due to arrive in the fall.
Beaucastel
Chateauneuf du Pape 2007 @ $79 WA96 WS96
Robert Parker:
"An inky/ruby/purple color is followed by a
glorious nose of blue and black fruits,
truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as
well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet
tannin, buttressing the fruit’s fabulous
freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort
still displays considerable tannin, no doubt
because of the relatively high Mourvedre
content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4
years, and last for 25 or more." ~ 96 Points
Wine Spectator:
"This extremely dense red delivers layers of
melted fig, mulled boysenberry and black currant
fruit, all laced with notes of charred mesquite,
hoisin sauce and Kenya AA coffee. The long,
silky mouthfeel belies the latent power in
reserve and there's a lot of it, with waves of
grip driving the finish. Best from 2010 through
2030." ~ 96 Points |
