"Coming from older vines and composed of 70% Mourvèdre and the rest an even split of Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise, the 2009 Châteauneuf Du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin is younger and more unevolved, revealing ripe blue fruits, violets, cured meats, and graphite. It's full-bodied and concentrated, with remarkably sweet, pure fruit on the palate, a beautiful mid-palate, and fine, focusing, sweet tannins. This killer wine is still youthful, with a blockbuster finish. It’s one of the most youthful wines in the vintage, and well-stored bottles will clearly keep for another two decades.." 99pts Jeb Dunnuck -jebdunnuck.com June 2025
