Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin  |

WA 96 (2/2003): The recently released 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin is closed and less expressive than the 2000, and perhaps more elegant and less weighty. Nevertheless, it is an enormously endowed effort revealing notes of licorice, blackberry and cherry fruit, melted asphalt, tapenade, truffles, and smoke. Chewy, with more minerality than most vintages of this wine possess, it requires a minimum of 6-8 years of cellaring. It should last 35-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035.
VM 96+ (2/2002): (This was slated to be bottled in January 2002; based on 60% mourvedre, in contrast to the '98, which showcased the glorious grenache of that year). Full ruby. Knockout nose of black raspberry, roasted nuts, road tar, licorice, leather and game; comes across as riper and more roasted than the regular cuvee Fat, dense and superconcentrated, with extraordinary precision of flavor and tactile strength. Has the firm backbone to support its compelling flesh. Very long, slow-mounting finish throws off notes of licorice, game, tar and brown spices. This will go on for decades. I may have marginally underrated this wine a year ago. This is consistently one of the great wines of Southern France: it will be a fascinating experience to taste the '99 and '98 side by side ten years from now. |

| VM 87-90 (1/2001): 60% new oak, higher than in the past for this cuvee Bright medium ruby. Oaky nose hints at blackberry, fresh blood and goat cheese. Juicy and intensely flavored, with firm acidity giving the flavors spine and grip. Slightly tarry oak tannins are nicely buffered by the wine material. Quite persistent on the aftertaste.

WA 97 (6/2015): One of the all-time greats from this estate is the still inky colored 1999 Cote Rotie. From a hot year that had many vignerons struggling with vinification issues, Jean-Paul compared 1999 to 2009 more than once. Sensationally rich, concentrated and full-bodied, it reveals a classic bouquet of pepper, smoked herbs, black currants and licorice. One sexy Cote Rotie that's just hard to resist, it's drinking perfectly today but will evolve nicely for another decade or more.
VM 93 (1/2002): (bottled in September) Full saturated ruby. Superripe aromas of cassis, blackberry, hickory smoke, mocha and tar. Very rich, complex dark fruit flavors are superripe but not at all sugary or over the top (this has a reasonable-for-the-vintage 12.7% alcohol, with virtually no chaptalization). Very concentrated and superbly aromatic in the mouth. Finishes very long, with ripe, strong tannins. At 3.95, the pH is even higher than that of the '97 made here. This has the balance to offer early pleasure or to be cellared for a decade or more. |
