Château de Beaucastel 2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

93Points

The 2009 vintage was terrific for Beaucastel, yielding a regional archetype, with structure for the long-term, if you can wait. Ripeness and intensity are aligned with freshness and elegance. A superb range of flavours covers herbal-vegetal, red and black berry fruit notes and marvelous scorched earth and dry stone minerality.
