Dark blackish blue hue with a purple core shows the intensity of this new release. A prettily perfumed nose offers acacia flowers, pain grille and coffee grounds surrounded by black fruit and freshly turned earth, all framed by a touch of French oak. With a powerful attack of big black cherry and crushed berry, this is thickly textured on the lush, weighty palate, lingering for over 30 seconds on the finish. Serve with hearty fall and winter fare.

The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (from 80-100 year old vines) exhibits a dark ruby/plum color as well as a big, voluptuous mouthfeel revealing copious pepper, garrigue, black cherry, lavender and damp earth notes. It is a full-bodied, luscious, sexy example of Chateauneuf du Pape to enjoy over the next decade.

This is alluring, with warm ganache and black tea notes leading the way for velvety-textured fig sauce, plum and crushed blackberry fruit. The long finish is filled with licorice and anise. Drink now through 2023. 3,000 cases made. -JM
