"The 1978 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château de Beaucastel came up

rst, poured completely blind. I believe this is the last vintage of

Jacques Perrin. It shows moderate bricking commensurate with its age,

and an endearing, mellow bouquet of Earl Grey, pressed owers,

mulberry and touches of clove. The medium-bodied palate is a little

rustic compared to modern-day Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but beautifully

balanced with supple tannins that once were tough, and eshy, with an

animally, leather and hung game nish that slaps a big fat smile on

your face. This is a wonderful wine that, if kept in good conditions like

this, could give at least another decade of drinking pleasure."
