2000 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
A big, full bore wine, the 2000 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf du Pape Boisrenard has decadent blackberry, cassis, floral and spiced meat notes literally jumping from the glass. With air, more underbrush and graphite notes show up and lead into a full bodied, balanced wine that simply saturates the palate with lush fruit.  Low in acidity with a thick, rich texture and a long finish, this doesn’t have the structure of the ’01 but is still a pup with a long life ahead of it. (94 pts.)
