The Beaucastel had the slight edge, although it&#8217;s not a competition of course. The VT 1995 is a wine that I&#8217;ve drunk on several occasions over recent years, and it&#8217;s probably worth drinking it up soon-ish. However, taste in old wine is quite a personal thing. Some like their older wines really old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ch\u00e2teau de Beaucastel 1999 Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du- Pape<br \/>\n<\/strong> A complex Ch\u00e2teauneuf of real interest with notes of spice, earth, molasses and bitter cherry, as well as a hint of animal. Rich, meaty, spicy and grippy with some dark liquorice character. Stylish and lively. 93\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Domaine du Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe 1995 Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape<br \/>\n<\/strong> Sweet autumnal flavours here: meaty, spicy and savoury with some herby, slightly green notes as well as sweet plum and cherry fruit. Nice complexity, but still tannic and beginning to dry a little. 92\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice to be able to compare these two side by side.
