Chateau De Beaucastel 1992 Chateauneuf Du Pape 75cl / 13.5%

A bottle of 1992 Châteauneuf du Pape from producer Château de Beaucastel, from the Southern Rhône's most celebrated appellation. Unusually, Beaucastel grow and vinify all 13 grape varieties permitted by the A.C.

'I was impressed with the 1992 Beaucastel, which is significantly richer and more complete than the narrowly constructed, herbaceous, compact 1991. The 1992 boasts a smoky, earthy, peppery, cassis-scented nose, rich, full-bodied flavors, excellent depth, moderate tannin, and a sweet, chewy, impressive finish. Its firmness suggests 3-4 years of cellaring is necessary; it should keep for 20 years.' Wine Advocate,1994
