Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Score: 94 Release Price: $90 Country: France Region: Southern Rh�ne Issue: May 31, 2006 Exotically rich, with candied lemon peel, dried pineapple, mango and papaya flavors that glide effortlessly, followed by hints of cardamom, chamomile tea and macadamia nut. Long, creamy finish lets the flavors play out wonderfully. Drink now through 2007. 1,600 cases made.--JM

Wine Advocate #163 Feb 2006 Robert Parker 92 Drink: 2006 - 2009 $90 (85) The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape blanc exhibits plenty of orange liqueur notes with hints of rose petals and tropical fruits. It has more freshness, but the wine�s light golden color and somewhat evolved, mature style suggests it should be drunk over the next 2-3 years � no later.
