Mid crimson. Immensely thick and sweet. Served blind and went particularly well with the spiced duck. Really rich and fully evolved with layers of spiciness itself. Rather glorious. Wrapped itself round the palate. Score: 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2000-2020 05 December 2015 |

The 1989 is inkier/purple in color than the 1990, with an extraordinarily sweet, rich personality offering up notes of smoke, melted licorice, black cherries, Asian spices, and cassis. Full-bodied and concentrated, it is one of the most powerful as well as highly extracted Beaucastels I have ever tasted. It requires another 3-4 years to reach its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for at least two decades. Score: 97 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2006-2023 31 January 2003 |

Perhaps the greatest Beaucastel ever produced. Has the class and structure of a great vintage of Mouton-Rothschild. Deep, inky in color, with intense herb, plum, game and spice aromas, this full-bodied wine has an explosion of fruit and an iron backbone. Try the beginning of next century.--Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Top 100: 1991, Rank: 1 Score: 97 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 1995-2005 15 October 1991 |
