Chateauneuf du Pape Beaucastel 1990
750 ml Mourvèdre Rhône, France 1990
Chateauneuf du Pape Beaucastel 1990 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Mourvèdre (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity moderate; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 36-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, venison, beef stew, steak.

Merchant says
A mature find from the 1990 vintage, expect a sweet nose with black truffle and lingering earthy notes accompanied by a wonderfully rounded palate with soft tannins.

The Château’s blend has typically a higher proportion of Mourvèdre than other cuvées. A mature find from the 1990 vintage, expect a sweet nose with black truffle and lingering earthy notes accompanied by a wonderfully rounded palate with soft tannins.
