(94+) The 2009 Domaine de la Solitude (Lançon Père et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Cornelia Constanza is 100% Grenache that comes all from sandy soils and is aged mostly in concrete, but with 10% of the blend in new oak. Showing a lighter red, transparent color, as well as gorgeously perfumed aromatics of kirsch, strawberry, sweet spice, fresh flowers, and licorice, the wine is full-bodied on the palate and possesses a voluptuous, yet elegant texture, sweet fruit, good acidity, and silky, ripe tannin on the finish. This needs 1-3 years of bottle age, and it should drink beautifully for 12-15 years.
