Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin 2010 750ml

Beginning to enter its second phase of life – there’s development here, but it’s still a bit dumb and inexpressive – don’t open it yet. Taking on some woodland notes, wet bark and turned earth. Very powerful on the palate, with perfectly ripe, massy tannins, incredible depth and length. Great freshness, huge power, such impact. It needs at least 15 years in bottle before opening, and 20 would be better. A monumental wine.
