Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998
The 1998 is an extraordinary effort, and from a purely hedonistic standpoint, probably my favorite Jacques Perrin (no doubt because of the high percentage of Grenache). It is an intense, full-bodied wine filled with notes of kirsch liqueur as well as an incredibly silky, expansive mouthfeel. It is one of the few vintages that was ready to drink within 3-4 years of the vintage, yet it is capable of lasting for three decades. It may not represent exactly what brothers Francois and Jean-Pierre Perrin are seeking (they mean this cuvee to emphasize the greatness of Mourvedre), but it is an incredible wine. Robert Parker

Lovely intense ruby. A bit of spice and spectacular deep fruit. Really very good.

From a magnum purchased in Paris on release. When viewed in the decanter no signs of age. This is a wine that has a little bit of everything both on the nose and the palate . Earth, funk, red fruit, plums, spice,leather, and cigar box. All of these elements are showcased and supported by an abundance of tannin and acid. Powerful but silky. Hands down the best 1998 CDP I have tasted .

Not the best example/vintage but HJP a favorite of mine. More-vedre and I'm thankful.

Took a while to come around. It was open 6 hours then decanted and didn't show well til hour 9. Barnyard funk at first. Balanced, licorice, and blackberries once open. Young. Sit on it. Big.

These magnums of 1998 HJP did not have labels since it was from the Caves of Beaucastel. ~60 percent Mouvedre with the rest made up of Syrah and Grenache from the best plots at Beaucastel.
