2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Signature

A rock-star bottling that over-delivers, Julien's 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Signature offers up tons of Provencal charm in its kirsch, peppery, licorice and wild herb aromas and flavors. Big, full-bodied, sexy and concentrated, with a big mid-palate and sweet tannin, drink it anytime over the coming decade or more. Like the other 2009s from this estate, it shows the warmth and sunny nature of the vintage brilliantly. eRobertParker.com.September, 2015
