An Alberta based consignor who worked in the wine industry for 20 years and had the opportunity to meet many producers and travel to wine regions around the world. When she started in the industry in the early 2000s, she was very interested in certain wineries, in particular, The Perrin Family Wines and Chateau de Beaucastel. She had the pleasure of meeting Thomas Perrin and enjoyed tasting his family wines and started collecting them, realizing their exceptional taste and aging potential. She also had the opportunity to stay at the family boutique hotel, Les Chambres de L'Oustalet, and visit the winery to enjoy a vertical tasting. The wines were all purchased through the agency she worked for and stored in a home cellar with a consistent temperature.
The score for 2005 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is 95 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Reminiscent of the 1995, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is tight, structured and backward, with high acidity and tannin. Showing notes of blackcurrants, black raspberry, truffle, damp earth and cedar, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth, it needs another 3-5 years to reach the early stages of maturity, at which point it will hold for another decade or more.
