Beaucastel

"Made in small quantities and first introduced with the 1989 vintage, Hommage à Jacques Perrin is admittedly one of the great wines of France, and its stature is well-earned."

"Enveloping nose of super-ripe orange, pomegranate and cigar leaf that’s still very youthful and needs time to reveal its myriad nuances. Also notes of licorice, dried herbs and rose petals. Enormous concentration, silkiness and finesse on the expansive palate. Extravagant in the best sense of that word! The finish gets finer, the closer it gets to infinity. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
