Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 1998
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe giant '98 opens with a ripe, roasted fruit nose reminiscent of blackberry jam and game with a big pepper and spice streak running throughout. It's a huge wine in the mouth but with a fine sense of elegance. This will need more time to really settle into form, perhaps a decade, but this is a classic and should be in every collector's cellar.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml |
