Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2001 is a mature, full-bodied red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the iconic red wines of the Southern Rhône Tracing its history back to 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel purchased his first plot of Coudoulet vines, the estate has been operated since 1909 by successive generations of the Perrin family. Beaucastel continues to reside among the elite producers of the region, each successive vintage crafting terroir red wines which harness the complementary characteristics of the appellation`s 13 traditional grape varieties. ""Still incredibly youthful and a touch reserved (especially when compared to the ?00), the 2001 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape still needs another 5 years to truly shine. At present, it delivers a dense, pure bouquet of meaty dark fruits, game, ripe herb, and licoricey, medium to full -body, brilliant concentration, and a long, classic finish. This gradually opens in the glass so if drinking anytime soon, a short decant or longer double decant is recommended." Jeb Dunnuck, 2009

Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Liqueur-like raspberry, licorice and a medicinal quality on the nose. Then quite backward in the mouth, with very primary dark berry and black cherry flavors hinting at great ripeness. Quite primary today and less animal than usual for a young Beaucastel. Elegant, slow-building finish features fine-grained tannins and excellent grip.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2004
