Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel--Vintage 2001
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
In original six-bottle wooden cases
Tasting note: Beaucastel has been on a terrific qualitative roll over the last four vintages, and the 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape (which Francois Perrin feels is similar to the 1990, although I don't see that as of yet) is a 15,000-case blend of 30 Grenache, 30 Mourvèdre, 10 Syrah, 10 Counoise, and the balance split among the other permitted varietals of the appellation. This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit. It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvèdre-dominated cuvee. Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next several years, not to re-emerge for 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #151, February 2004
