  • Dark straw colored, almost orange. It's certainly a strange wine and suspect this could be oxidized. That said, there's much to enjoy. The nose has some tropical fruits, bananas, and honey. The palate is thick, lush, and seductive. moderate acidity and medium length finish. Drink now.

  • Kleur: Middel goudgeel. Aroma / bouquet: Voor velen ongetwijfeld een enigszins vermoeiende, overjarige Ch9dP maar voor mij is dit genieten. Boordevol overrijp wit fruit. Overrijpe ananas, overrijpe banaan. Kervel. Boenwas / kaarsvet. Een vleug van sinaasappelschil / Grand Marnier. Smaak / Afdronk: Wowww. Wat een prachtig glas wijn . Lage zuurgraad en daardoor misschien wat log en vermoeiend (maar niet voor mij 😉). Geconcentreerd, dik-sappig, een hint van verfijnd hout. Een indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Er zijn maar weinig witte wijnen die probleemloos kunnen promoveren van voorgerechtwijn tot hoofdgerechtwijn tot open-haard-wijn. Deze 2004 Ch. No food needed. Deze Beaucastel is er één van. Briljant! 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 15 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 90/100

    Google Translate:

    Color: Medium golden yellow. Aroma / bouquet: Undoubtedly a somewhat tiring, over-age Ch9dP for many, but for me this is enjoyment. Packed with overripe white fruit. Overripe pineapple, overripe banana. Chervil. Floor wax / candle wax. A hint of orange peel / Grand Marnier. Taste / Aftertaste: Wowww. What a beautiful glass of wine. Low acidity and therefore perhaps a bit bulky and tiring (but not for me 😉). Concentrated, thick-juicy, a hint of refined wood. An impressively long finish. General / potential: There are few white wines that can easily promote from starter wine to main dish wine to open-fire wine. This 2004 Ch. No food needed. This Beaucastel is one of them. Brilliant! 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Finish: 15 + General / potential: 8 = 90/100

  • Deep golden core. Banana, pineapple and apple on the nose. Unlike a previous bottle I tried just last week (which tasted more like fino sherry than white wine - not an awful thing, but certainly not what I expected!), this is not oxidized, but appropriately mature for a 13-year-old white. Very full-bodied; balanced acidity; ground cherry, gooseberry, subtle flavors of tropical fruit on the palate, mixed with something waxy, almost savory, somewhere between pumpkin/zucchini and nut meal. Long length. Very lovely indeed.

    (Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc) Nice, light oily, mineral nose; light bodied, light on entry, opening to nutty flavors with oily texture; short-medium finish (80% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc) - Marc Perrin opined that this was suffering bottle shock, having been shipped 2 weeks before
