Parker Review:
Potentially the wine of the vintage, the 2009 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin had just been bottled two weeks before my visit. A wine of extraordinary density, richness, precision and unreal flavor intensity, it reveals abundant gamey, meaty notes intermixed with smoked duck, Provencal herbs, blueberries, blackberries, kirsch and licorice. This loaded, multidimensional, massively concentrated 2009 is much softer than most Hommages. It should be drinkable in 3-4 years and keep for 30-40 years thereafter. Kudos to one of the worlds great winemaking families!

Tanzer Review:
Opaque purple. Enthralling aromas of blackberry liqueur, Moroccan spices, flowers and smoky minerality. Creamy, silky and generous, with superb definition to the dark berry and floral pastille flavors. Offers outstanding depth with no excess weight. The gently tannic finish eventually leaves sexy floral and spice notes behind.
