A ripe, forward and sunny wine that's reminiscent of a deeper, richer 2011, the 2009 Ventoux la Quintessence gives up layers of black raspberries, spice box, kirsch, incense, cured meats and garrigue. Full-bodied, pure, impeccably balanced and drinking beautifully, it shows that these all need cellar time to show at their best. It will continue drinking nicely through 2024. - Jeb Dunnuck
