Beaucastel, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2000
98 points Jeb Dunnuck
A wine that continues to show beautifully is the 2000 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin. Still vibrant ruby-colored with an incredible nose of blackcurrants, beef blood, truffle, incense and cured meats, it’s a huge, opulent, concentrated 2000 that has a stacked mid-palate, sweet tannin, no hard edges and a finish that just won’t quit. It’s a heavenly red that can be enjoyed anytime over the coming two decades. (12/2017)

A forward vintage exhibiting jammy red fruit aromas, spice and a hint of undergrowth and leather. Lush and concentrated but with a fine acidity to support it all. Full-bodied with a very long, lingering finish and ripe tannins. It has layers of complexity and it still needs a decade to develop. Drinking Window 2025 - 2035 (CG) (11/2017)
