1989 Chateau Beaucastel CDP - 97 Pts! Wine of The Year!
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. (Many purchasers have reported bottle leakage (due to a cork problem) with this vintage. I purchased two cases of this wine but none of my bottles reveal any sign of leakage. RP
