Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2001 750mL

"This bottle of 2001 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin was amazingly accessible, seamless, and stunning. Packed with cassis, blackberry, meat and spice aromas on the nose, this has fabulous depth and precision. The palate is full-bodied and with an open, perfect, seamless texture that is simply silk. It's massively concentrated, but the purity, precision, and just sheer drinkability are amazing. This finishes with subtle tannins on the long finish." - Jeb Dunnuck, JD99, tasted 3/2008
