Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes 1996
Rhône
In original wooden case. Good appearance
Tasting note: The 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes was extremely closed, but it is loaded with extract. With coaxing, scents of minerals, mint, honey, acacia flowers, and spice emerge. The wine is medium to full-bodied, long, and powerful, with everything buttressed by zesty acidity. It is extremely backward. Look for this wine to evolve for two decades. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 121, February 1999
