"Composed of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Syrah, the opaque ruby/purple-hued 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is a strong, rich, concentrated effort displaying plenty of black and red fruit, licorice and barbecue smoke characteristics and beautiful density, texture and purity. This is a big, full-throttle yet well-balanced Chateauneuf to consume over the next 10-15 years. 90-93 points" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 191
