The 1996 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape reveals a deep ruby colour, indicating its concentration and maturity. On the nose, it offers a complex array of aromas, including dark fruits such as black cherry and plum, along with notes of garrigue, spices, and hints of earthiness. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a rich and layered texture. Flavours of ripe berries, black olives, dried herbs, and hints of leather intermingle, creating a harmonious and complex profile. The tannins are well-integrated, and the wine is supported by a balanced acidity, which contributes to its overall structure and longevity.

Good full red. Less obviously ripe aromas of black cherry, dark berries, cocoa powder, and smoke, plus a faint medicinal nuance. More open in the mouth today than Beaucastel's '97; shows lovely sweetness and texture and very good cut and thrust. Hints of leather and game. Not quite as ripe as the '97, but finishes quite persistent, with a subtly perfumed quality. This may well be for drinking after the '97.Stephen Tanzer1st January 1999
