Wine Advocate 94/100
The 2009 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is reminiscent of their brilliant 1985. It will be one of the rare Beaucastels that is drinkable upon release. Made from this estates classic blend, it possesses soft tannins as well as a silky, open-knit seductiveness, a dense plum/purple color and a beautiful perfume of smoky Provencal herbs intermixed with grilled steak juices, garrigue, kirsch and blue as well as black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, unctuously textured, and silky smooth (the latter characteristic being somewhat atypical for a young Beaucastel). If it performs like the 1985, it will drink well young and continue to do so for 25 or more years. nnRobert M. Parker, Jr. - 31/10/2011 nnJancis Robinson MW 18/20 n13 varieties including Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah, Counoise, Cinsault. You can nfeel all those components coming together. The brightness of the Grenache, that dry, firm framework and length from the Mourvèdre and the completeness of the blend. Dry, fresh, long and impressive in its embryonic state. Power and finesse. Great length.nn(Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding MW & Tamlyn Currin- jancisrobinson.com, 19 Nov 2010)
