TASTING PANEL

Tasting Panel

Another stunner from the Perin family. Deep, earthy nose; juicy and bright with racy blueberry, raspberry and casis; lush, elegant and seamless with deep spice, licorice and violets; long, tangy and seductive; wonderful now, even better in ten years.

WINE SPECTATOR

Wine Spectator

Warm raspberry and boysenberry confiture aromas and flavors are dominant in this lush, inviting style, but there’s plenty of dried star anise, bay leaf, licorice root, worn leather and roasted juniper notes to fill out the chorus. The finish turns youthfully grippy, with a tarry edge holding sway and adding serious length. Try now, but cellar for maximum effect. Best from 2018 through 2030.

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

What I think might end up being the best Beaucastel since the 1990 or 2001, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape offers a full-bodied, decadent style to go with awesome black and blue fruits, garrigue, licorice, crushed flowers and violets. The purity here is truly something, and it has fabulous mid-palate concentration, building tannin and massive texture. Given all of the fruit and texture here, it will no doubt drink well in its youth, but it should still be alive and kicking after two decades as well.
