2019 Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Chateau Beaucastel, Rhone, France

"The dark-fruited, plummy and cola-scented 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is a rich, full-bodied effort reminiscent of the 2007 or 2009. Dense, powerful and savory...... There's ample concentration and sufficient tannins for the long haul, with a long, dusty finish and hints of licorice that bode well for the future." Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate. 95 Points, Drink to 2038.
