2023 | Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape | Rhone Hogue Cellars red fruit notes on theA deep, quite herbal expression, with liquorice and crushed blueberries to the cassis fruit. Full bodied, powerfully fruited, dense and deep. Really mouthcoating, intense fruit. The tannins are ripe, fine and plentiful, all saturated in blackberry juice on a long finish. Certainly one of the more successful Chteauneufs this year. Will age well. A Mourvdre led expression of Beaucastel it contains more than usual, at least 35% and probably more.
