CHATEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2020

The powerful and elegant nose offers notes of spices, cherries and cocoa. Perfectly balanced, the mouth reveals a beautiful dense structure with fine tannins and complex aromas of red fruit such as blackcurrants and floral notes. A very sophisticated wine.  Organic

97 POINTS, James Suckling formally of Wine Spectator. "Very dense black-fruit aromas, but also licorice, an entire microcosm of spice and a whiff of smoked bacon. Very dense and meaty with an incredible tannin structure that enables this to be simultaneously very big and elegant. Super-long finish with enormous mineral freshness. Drink or hold."

95-97 POINTS, The Wine Advocate. "Beaucastel's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 30% each Grenache and Mourvèdre, with 10% each Counoise and Syrah, plus 20% other permitted varietials. Complex and red-fruited, with hints of flowers and garrigue, it's expansive and richly textured on the palate, finishing long and silky."

96 POINTS, Decanter
