Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin 2018 sku_2413743-1 The palate shows wonderful viscosityLoaded with mulberry and blueberry fruit, graced by hints of star anise, cardamom, cinnamon and allspice, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin is another standout vintage for this wine. Full bodied, rich, velvety and long on the finish, at this point, it's maybe not quite as sure a thing to reach the century score as the beyond superlative 2018, but I wouldn't rule it out. This is seriously great wine.
