Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin 1998 Châteauneuf du PapeLot 8516: u. 6cm, slightly scuffed label, vintage neck label, and wax capsule, Lot 8517: u. 6cm, torn, slightly wrinkled and scuffed label, slightly scuffed vintage neck label and capsule, Lot 8518: u. 6.5cm, slightly scuffed label, vintage neck label and wax capsule, slight sign of seepage60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Counoise, 10% Syrah and others. Selection of the best parcels of older vines. Incredible wild herbs nose, with wild mint predominating. Quite glorious. One's mouth is coated with rich glycerol and it has all the flavours in the world on the palate. A triumph of soil, climate, viticulture, winemaking and spellbinding stuff. In 2009, gloriously fresh, glossy liquorice nose. Glorious, gummy, rich taste. All the black fruits. Wild cherries on the finish. Perfect in every way.
