Description
Robert Parker: The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes isconsidered by many observers in Chateauneuf du Pape to be the wineof the vintage, and it can most certainly be counted among thefinest. A blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedretipping the scales at 15.5% natural alcohol (which is slightly lessthan the Chaupin), the wine has an inky black/purple color as wellas incredible density and richness, with notes of soy, blackberry,and blueberry liqueur, incense, acacia flowers and licorice. Thelayered, full-bodied mouthfeel displays no heat, but the wine hasmassive concentration and a silky, smooth finish. Because of thelow acidity in the 2009s, and sweet tannins, this has turned out tobe a glorious example of Chateauneuf du Pape to drink over the nexttwo decades.
