One of the top-rated Chateauneufs from the 2013 vintage - limited. 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a beauty and has a rare level of concentration and depth in the vintage. Blueberry, crushed flowers, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic Beaucastel that has impressive purity and plenty of length. It’s not massive, but still needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade after that... ...One of the standout tasting while I working in the southern Rhône, the Perrin family, now largely under the helm of Thomas, Marc, Pierre, and Mathieu, continues to produce some of the top wines, at numerous price points, in the southern Rhône."

Finally tasted the legend and it did not disappoint. Just wish it was an older bottle.

Deliciously rich and concentrated. Dark fruit, cocoa, coffee, berry compote. A big, fruit-forward, sweet beast. Put it away for years.

Typical stink on the nose, but if that deterred you, you sorely missed out. After being open an hour+, this baby came alive and really flexed some mixed fruit, herbal, and dense earthy notes. Solid CDP for the price!

Complex and intriguing. Waxed fruit, candied pear, rusty pipe. Damn good.
