Description

One bottle of this very highly rated wine from arguably the leading estate in Chateauneuf du Pape. If the following tasting notes are reliable, this will be a treat:

“The 2005 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is a wine that probably needs 7-10 years of bottle age. Possibly the most backward and closed Beaucastel made since the 1995, the wine has very high tannins, seems totally closed aromatically, but in the mouth is a weighty wine exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color and tight aromatics consisting of new saddle leather, porcini, meat juices, licorice, tar, and black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, very tannic, and structured in a dramatically masculine, ageworthy style. This is one for the younger generation or those with considerable patience. I can’t see it being close to drinkable before 2014 and lasting up to 30 or more years.
Score: 94 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (173), October 2007”

“Cask sample at Farr Vintners. A limpid ruby hue. A lush, voluptuous nose with great definition. Cherry, bales of hay, espresso and earth. The palate is full-bodied and dense with red-berried fruit, white pepper, sour cherry and earth. Very backward with saddle-leather on the finish. The final blend should be a treat. Tasted December 2006. Drinking 2012-2020.
Score: 93+ Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, June 2007”

“Deep ruby. Intense dark berry scents expand and deepen with air, picking up dusky espresso and licorice tones. Lush, powerful and sweet, with impressively concentrated, pure dark berry flavors and supple, finely integrated tannins. There's a great fruit/tannin balance here, and the supple finish boasts impressively concentrated and remarkably persistent cherry and blackberry fruit.
Score: 93/96 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, January 2007”

“Really dense and locked up now, this is packed with dark fig, currant and blackberry fruit shrouded by layers of tar, hot stone, bittersweet licorice and espresso. The long, dense finish has a great tug of iron buried within it. Best from 2011 through 2030.
Score: 96 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, April 2008”

“Ruby-red. Blackberry and cassis on the nose, with a complex set of earth, herb and floral qualities adding complexity. Deep and sweet, with bitter cherry and candied licorice flavors and youthfully firm tannins but no hardness. Turns more lively on the finish, picking up a spicy red berry character and leaving a long, pungent herbal trail behind. This needs time. "It's the opposite of a bimbo wine," Perrin offered.
Score: 94 Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, January 2008”

"Bright crimson. Firm and luscious and very, very gorgeous in terms of plush ripe fruit. Almost port sort of richess. You almost have to work at finding the tannins underneath. A pre-blend from demi-muid. Lovely stuff already! Drink 2012-22
Score: 18.5+ Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, December 2006

“Reminiscent of the 1995, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is tight, structured and backward, with high acidity and tannin. Showing notes of blackcurrants, black raspberry, truffle, damp earth and cedar, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth, it needs another 3-5 years to reach the early stages of maturity, at which point it will hold for another decade or more. Feb 2015, www.robertparker.com Score: 95-/100Jeb Dunnuck”


“This vintage is a beautiful complex and well-balanced wine. The colour is dark and deep, with beautiful ruby shades. The nose is both fresh and complex at the same time with notes of chocolate and spices. The mouth is a subtle balance between freshness and notes of black fruit and mushrooms.
Famille Perrin, 21/9/16”

“Fabulous aromas of sweet fruit, beginning of leather and then really meaty on the palate, seasoned with pepper and spice. Silky texture. Mouthwatering and elegant. Still so much more to come. (JH) Drink Dates: 2011-2020 Author: Julia Harding MW”

Finally a recent note from the American Wine Disorder online board:

“What a fortuitous pick from the cellar. Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape '05 -- Color is right on, generous fruitful aromas with a dimension of sweetness, classic tertiary notes, quite round on palate, tannins largely (if not completely?) evolved, so soft and luscious mouthfeel, red and black fruits, leather nuances, expected Beaucastel complexity albeit not as focused as usual, wonderful mellowness, really in a fine place.”

The bottle on sale is the one shown in the photographs and is in very good condition with a good level. It came from a wooden case of 12 bought on release from a reputable English wine merchant, and has been stored since purchase in a proper dark underground cellar.
