Description

Parker: 91-3 points

Loaded with red and black currants, iron, beef blood, rolled stone and garrigue on the nose, with no roasted fruit or over ripeness, it shines on the palate with excellent depth and richness. Medium to full-bodied, supple and integrated, with plenty of ripe fruit, it should continue to evolve for a handful of years. Tasted June 2013.

Medium garnet colour going a little brick in the rim. Kirsch, gingerbread, leather, raisins and tobacco aromas with some hung meat and game notes. The palate is very ripe, concentrated and full bodied with a medium+ level of acidity and a low to medium level of silky tannins. Long finish. Drink now to 2023. Tasted August 2009.

Much like it was in 1998, the blend for Beaucastel’s 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape includes more Grenache (50%) since that varietal was both consistent and of high quality. The balance is 20% Mourvedre, and 30% such varietals as Syrah and Counoise. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by an earthy style, moderately high levels of tannin, and neither the suppleness nor forward flamboyance of the 2000 or 2001. Dense, full-bodied, and structured, the 2003 is clearly a vin de garde. It will require 5-6 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 15-18. December 2004

JLL comments:
2003****
Red-ruby robe. There are some game, red cherry, licorice, high and also smoky tobacco airs – an interesting mix of aromas, is varied. The palate red fruit is consistent, tightly packed. It is very southern in form – it suggests tightly clustered, small red fruits and has rosemary, coffee note after half way. I am encouraged by its fresh, clear finish – there is a smoky, pumice stone, flint-like length. “Terroir is now getting past the vintage influence,” Marc Perrin. 13.5°. 2022-24 Oct 2012 Previously May 2011 ****(*) magnum: red with mottled tints in it. Has a Wide Frontier nose, something of the game and very earthy nature, with floral top relief. There are “dark” Mourvèdre moments. Its funky side will hit the mark for some, is a one-off. Juicy, black fruits debut to the palate, with still grainy tannins on its sides. One can see it has come from a strong heat origin with its degree of dustiness and baking on its final stages. The gras is edging along the palate, towards the finish, as it ages. Has a flinty, almost graphite aftertaste, but that has a rose-hip companion in it – an unusual and compelling combination. Indeed, it is a wide horizon wine . . Food matching a challenge for it because of the baked areas at the end. Possibly beef à la daube, stew. A wine of character. 13.5°. “We started to harvest the Syrah and Grenache on 23 August. There were two halves to the vintage – before the rain and after. Before the rain, the alcohol was growing, there was a loss of water in the grapes. After the rain, the berries became fatter. So we changed from short fermentations to avoid extracting dry tannins before, to long macerations after the rain,” Pierre Perrin. 2030-33 Maldives, May 2011 Previously June 2006 ****(*) inky, solid robe. The bouquet shows brambly fruit, with a petrol side, also pine – there is a lot of variety and a challenging display of aromas, like Star Wars the aromas come from all directions. There is some pastille flavour on the palate – black, quite savoury fruits that are really compact and flowing, easy to drink. Lots of content here – the fruit prune, damson, and from mid-palate I detect a Grenache influence. This will please people. 2022-25 June 2006 “The nearest I can cite to this style of vintage is 1976 – which was also very beau at the start of its life,” François Perrin. June 2006 Previously March 2005 **** generous, ample, ripe bouquet, wee bit oxidative, black fruit syrup aroma, truffly, and meaty. Ripe black berries impact on attack, then tightens - mixes leather, prune, plum. Voluminous, beaucoup de vin. Corpulent from the vintage, its nature is one of extreme ripeness. Gourmand wine. Esp 2008/09 on. 2022-24. "We only ran a 6 day vatting instead of the usual 2 weeks to extract the tannins and avoid any dryness in them." F Perrin. March 2005, assembled, for bottling April 2005
