2022 Beatus Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rated 100

"A total masterclass,  dense, heady and really pleasurable in its full-throttle youth, the 2022 Beatus offers ripe red currants, menthol and red rose petals on the nose alongside shades of cardamom. The palate is vibrant and nervy with terrific richness and mouth-watering acidity. Ripe guava flavors mingle well with salty minerals, pomegranate seed and anise notes on the palate. Finishing very long, this is a stunning example of top Chateauneuf du Pape and will cellar well for many years to come."
