The 2017 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a full-bodied, concentrated wine with notes of dark fruit (plum, black cherry, black currant), spices (licorice, five spice, peppercorn), and floral/herbaceous elements (violet, lavender, garrigue). It has a rich, layered palate with a long, spicy finish and firm, but refined, tannins, indicating it will benefit from aging.
Aroma and flavor
- Dark Fruit: Black cherry, black currant, plum, blackberry, and boysenberry are frequently mentioned.
- Spices: Notes of black tea, fruitcake, anise, five spice powder, peppercorn, and smoked meat are noted.
- Floral and Herbal: Hints of violet, lavender, and garrigue (aromatic herbs) are present.
- Other: A distinct minerality and meaty complexity are also described.
Structure and finish
- Body: The wine is described as full-bodied, dense, and concentrated.
- Texture: It has a velvety, silky texture, though it can be a bit closed down initially.
- Tannins: The tannins are firm and structured, with some sources noting they are "brash and furry," suggesting the wine needs time to soften.
- Finish: The finish is long, powerful, and persistent, carrying the fruit and spice flavors for a long time.
