The 1994 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape possesses a beautiful nose of leather, earth and mushroom notes but also has ripe fruit that keeps it enjoyable. Medium bodied but slightly lacking on the midpalate and the finish had me wishing for more length.
The 1994 seems less successful than my early tastings indicated. The high percentage of Mourvedre (40% versus the normal 30%) has given it an earthy, leathery character with hints of mushrooms and tree bark. Although dense and chewy, it remains tannic and firm. It will keep for two decades, but it is not a hedonistic example and how much pleasure it will provide remains to be seen. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
