Dark crimson color. Expressive aromas of raspberry liqueur, kirsch, crushed rock, and rose petal, with a core of savory pork and spice notes. The flavorful palate is medium to full-bodied. Mixed berries, crushed strawberry, and violets emerge as do chocolate and smoked meat. Although the tannins are firm and powerful, they are not impenetrable. This sleeper is beautiful from start to finish. Ready to be enjoyed now, but will continue to develop over the next 10 years.

The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (65% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault) is a beauty. Aged completely in foudre, it reveals classic Provencal notes of garrigue, red and black currants, pepper and black cherries. Full-bodied, luscious and supple textured with silky tannins and low acidity, it should drink well for a decade.
