Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape VV 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Rhone – Red 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is
considered by many observers in Chateauneuf du Pape to be the wine
of the vintage, and it can most certainly be counted among the
finest. A blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre
tipping the scales at 15.5% natural alcohol (which is slightly less
than the Chaupin), the wine has an inky black/purple color as well
as incredible density and richness, with notes of soy, blackberry,
and blueberry liqueur, incense, acacia flowers and licorice. The
layered, full-bodied mouthfeel displays no heat, but the wine has
massive concentration and a silky, smooth finish. Because of the
low acidity in the 2009s, and sweet tannins, this has turned out to
be a glorious example of Chateauneuf du Pape to drink over the next
two decades.
