This lot contains 11 x 37.5cl half bottles of Châteauneuf du Pape from producer Château de Beaucastel from the famously hot 2003 vintage. Unusually, Beaucastel grow and vinify all 13 grape varieties permitted under appellation law.
'Young and tight, with garrigue and roasted game aromas peeking out from a core of ripe black currant, plum and fig fruit. Lots of toast tobacco and iron as well. The finish is well-endowed with tannins, but they are ripe and pure. Best from 2008 through 2025. 15,000 cases made. 94/100' Wine Spectator, tasted 2006
