Description

Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf du Pape 1997: A mature hue, with a dark and dense core, slowly fading to a dusky cherry rim. The nose has a lot of what might be regarded as 'classic' Beaucastel character; it has a feral, savage fruit which belies the high percentage of Mourvèdre in the blend. In the background there is a little volatility reminiscent of polystyrene cement - the last time I noticed a similar aroma it was in the 1995. On the palate, it is full, textured, and shows a good weight from start to finish. A forceful midpalate, with plenty of acid backbone although overall it is quite nicely integrated and has an appealing balance. There is a little seam of residual tannin beneath this. A nice wine which I think will be peaking within the next few years. From a tasting of the 1997 Vintage at ten years of age. 17+/20 (December 2007)

Feb 1999 Robert Parker (89-91) Drink: N/A - 2015
Yields for the 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape were tiny, averaging 22 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine is one of the most seductive and forward young Beaucastels I have tasted since the 1985. The blend was 35% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 10% Counoise, 5% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, and the rest other southern Rhone varietals. The deep ruby color is accompanied by forward, attractive aromatics consisting of black raspberries, cherries, licorice, floral, and herb scents. The wine is fruit-driven, with less structure than usual, but luscious cassis, licorice, and blackberries inundate the palate with no hard edges. A seductive, supple-textured, medium to full-bodied Beaucastel, this wine should drink well young, and last for 15 or more years.
