Chteau de Beaucastel Chteauneuf du Pape '01
Dark red.
Closed initially, raspberries and perhaps cherries, hints of animals, a bit brambly, nice freshness (Grenache?).
Impressive purity of miscellaneous fruits, a bit dusty, some earth, medium acid, exotic dark spices, some leathery notes, very balanced, elegant meatiness and brambliness, young and primary but with integrated tannins, complexity in spades.
Long full finish. [E - O]
Served with Ox Tails, Noodles, and Snow Peas...
