Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 dry white wine:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, Oct. 2023): 94/100. Roughly 80% Roussanne, with the balance a mix of other permitted white varieties, Beaucastel's 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a fine, fine effort. Tangerine and peach notes are plump and round on the full-bodied palate, which is quite rich and plush in feel yet long and harmonious on the finish. The ability to be so ripe and sumptuous yet balanced is truly remarkable. (drink date: 2023-2030)
