Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape(1998)
Dark ruby colour, with bright red tinges.
Nose still a little closed before decanting, expressing quintessential fruit, macerated with spices.
The mouth is round, ripe and fleshy, and the generous finish ends with fine and velvety tannins
Great potential, but still a little closed
Food matches: roast lamb, grilled beef on the bone,
A perfect dish: Roast saddle of lamb with pink garlic, grilled eggplant and zucchini, wild herb pesto.

- Saturated ruby-red. Superripe but reticent, grenache-dominated aromas of roasted plum, cherry jam, tar and humus. Fat, lush and stuffed with fruit; almost heavy today compared to the '99. But this is utterly silky and its firm underlying structure is buried by fruit and baby fat. Intriguing meat and licorice notes. A wine of superb finesse and superfine tannins.

- From .375- nose was very primary- all lightly roasted raspberries- the palate started off extremely disjointed and way out of balance, but after about an hour in the glass, everything came together into a real heavyweight CdP- almost painful to drink now, but incredible potential.
