Note di degustazione
Another youthful wine in the vintage (which is common for this estate), the 2009 Châteauneuf Du Pape is deep ruby/plum-hued and offers terrific aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, sappy garrigue, pepper, and a Graves-like scorched earth character. With medium to full-bodied richness, terrific mid-palate depth and concentration, ripe tannins, and a great finish, this beauty has another 10-15+ years of longevity ahead of it. Based on 60% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre, and 1% various varieties, it was destemmed and aged in 12% new barrels, with the balance in used barrels and stainless steel. Bravo. Drink: 2025-2039.

Mont Redon's lovely 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is beginning to show signs of maturity. Aromas of leather, cocoa, black cherries and tapenade set the scene, while the full-bodied palate is still silky and lush, with a salty edge to the finish. Like many of the wines made at this estate, it's not a blockbuster, just nicely balanced. I wouldn't hold this much longer, but it seems in no imminent danger.
Ruby-red. Red and dark berries on the fragrant, exotically perfumed nose. Ripe and broad on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, displaying juicy raspberry and blackberry flavors that are given depth by a suggestion of candied licorice. Gains energy with air and finishes long, with excellent clarity and incisive spice notes.
