Description
91 points Jeb Dunnuck: “More evolved on the nose and in color than the ’95, the 1996 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is right in the wheelhouse with spicy, licorice-infused fruits, roasted meat, truffle, and a touch of leather on the nose. While the aromas lack of touch of clarity, the palate is beautiful with medium body, a smooth, precise texture, good acidity and a clean, long finish. Still going strong on the second day, this is delicious now and should continue to drink well over the next decade or longer. (8/31/10)”
