Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2004SKU7200
The 2004 is potentially one of the legendary Jacques Perrin cuvees since the debut vintage of 1989. The potentially perfect 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out to be just an amazing wine and one of the profound examples of this cuvee the Perrins have produced. It certainly has all the power, density, and richness of the great years, but there is almost a surreal elegance and lightness for a wine this powerful and dense. Almost difficult to describe, the gorgeous multi-layered texture, and the heavenly perfume of smoked meats, flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and truffles is a knock-out. 98 pts Wine Advocate (2004)
