The 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape blanc is outrageously good, one of the finest examples they have made over recent vintages. I retasted it and it has jumped in stature and score considerably. It is a beauty, with formidable richness, loads of honeysuckle, litchi, and buttery grapefruit, lemon, and tropical fruits in a full-bodied, well-delineated style with terrific acidity and definition. It should drink well for a decade or more. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

($85; a blend of 80% roussanne, 15% grenache blanc and 5% other varieties) Bright, pale gold. Exotic, almost tropical aromas of orange, tangerine, white peach and jasmine. Lush and thick on the palate, with the orange flavor gaining weight and turning creamy with aeration. Intensely mineral on the back, finishing with an almost salty tone.

Rich and creamy, with an array of floral, tropical fruit and mineral notes that race through a long, stony finish. Drink now through 2009. 350 cases imported. –JM
