Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hommage à Jasques Perrin, Beaucastel, 2009

Seller description

Robert Parker : " Of remarkable quality, the Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2009 offers an unusual bouquet of Provencal herbs, truffles and notes of wet dog interspersed with blueberries, blackberries and classic cassis. Solid and full-bodied in the mouth, with a density and decadence hard to believe, it is a wine that has the fruit to be drunk today, but also the concentration, the middle of the palate, the tannins and the balance to age for 3 to 4 decades. Made from a blend of 60% mourvèdre, 20% syrah and the rest counoise and grenache, it is one of the wines of the vintage."
