Famille Perrin 2010 Château de Beaucastel Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

Country: France / Château de Beaucastel
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Famille Perrin / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The 2010 Beaucastel is a tour de force, brilliantly combining espresso and black olive notes with bright raspberry fruit, while dark earthy notes provide a solid base. The feel on the palate is ample, with tannins that are a bit dusty but not tough or chewy. The long, mouthwatering finish bodes well for the future. Drink now–2030.
