Robert Parker's Wine Advocate October 2011 The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (which tips the scales around 15% natural alcohol) is a great example of traditional Chateauneuf du Pape winemaking. A dense dark ruby color is followed by a sexy nose of raspberries, ground pepper, spice box, damp earth, kirsch and dark currants. Full-bodied, complex, elegant and already irresistible as the tannins have completely melted away, it can be drunk now and over the next 15+ years. Â 95 points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, March/April 2011 Bright ruby. Seductively perfumed, suggesting floral-inflected aromas of cherry, red berries and Asian spices, along with a strong mineral quality. Velvety and bright on entry, then ripe and sweet in the mid-palate, with impressive energy to its raspberry and cherry compote flavors. Lively on the bright, extremely long finish, which features lingering floral and mineral nuances. Â 93-95 points
