Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2006 (1500ml)

$139

...a top-notch success and one of the vintage's top wines. A big, sweet, beefy nose intermixed with truffles, tree bark, fresh mushrooms, blackberry and black currants as well as some road tar jumps from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored wine. The wine has terrific fruit on the attack, medium to full body, very concentrated flavors, and moderate tannin in the finish. This is a strong Mourvedre-based cuvee that needs 4-6 years of bottle age and should last 25-30 years. Robert Parker

It took two bottles but here we are. This is in the zone. Don’t hold. 2019 is the end.

Fresh games blue fruit. A lean, bright edge with some tang- then quite tart fruit. Good balance. A leaner, fresher CNdP.

Tastes more like a mature Bandol than a CDP. Smoky, barky, deeply gravelly, intensely concentrated dark blackberry fruit. A little scorchy note in the finish. Very full and still some tannin to shed.

Gerald Montoya Delectable Pro

Deep and complex with focused blue fruit, garrigue, stony and almost smoky. Beautiful complexity and definitely showing some secondary notes, but the acidity (at least of this bottle) was pretty high still and didn't start to integrate until 4 hours in the decanter. Plenty of life left to hold onto bottles for 5-10 years.

Concentrated, ripe blue and black fruit. Soft, fleshy texture. Cracked pepper and spice. Clean earth. Drying flower petal. Beginning to develop secondary character behind adolescent acid. This was in a good spot and has miles ahead of it. Pretty outrageous stuff.

Grenache is coming through pretty strong in this one, but the backbone is there. Needs a few more years.
