WA 96 (2/2014): Still youthful, and even slightly backwards, the tiny production 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin (60% Mourvedre and the balance other permitted varieties) took the better part of the evening to unwind. Offering deep, layered aromas of black currants, blueberries, leather, truffle and steak tartare, it flows onto the palate with a concentrated, yet seamless and gorgeously focused profile that carries ample tannin, good acidity and blockbuster length. One of the gems of the vintage, it needs another 3-4 years of bottle age and will evolve gracefully for a decade or more past that.
VM 96-98 (2/2007): Saturated ruby. Remarkably deep nose combines cherry, raspberry, licorice, smoked meat and mineral notes, all lifted by an intense floral quality. A stunning example of freshness and precision married to power, with deep cassis, bitter cherry and candied licorice flavors enlivened by zesty minerality and framed by firm but harmonious tannins. "This is not about extraction," notes Perrin. The endless finish echoes the mineral and floral tones, showing a persistent lavender note. This was not yet bottled when I tasted it. |

| VM 88 (1/2007): Dark ruby. Mineral-accented red and dark fruit aromas, with a note of anise. Focused raspberry and cherry flavors are suavely framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with good lift and a late hint of lavender. Josh Raynolds. |

WA 95 (2/2014): One of the standouts in the vintage, Paul-Vincent’s 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is a gorgeous effort that does everything right. Both elegant and rich, with complex kirsch, garrigue, underbrush and saddle-leather aromas and flavors (among other things), this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, no hard edges and an overall seamless, elegant profile that makes it such a joy to drink. Upfront and ready to go, it will nevertheless continue to evolve gracefully for another decade.
VM 94 (2/2007): Deep ruby. Pungent spice and floral notes accent bright red berry and cherry aromas. Deep, fleshy and sweet, with musky underbrush and garrigue adding complexity to the bright, intense red berry flavors. Very rich, in fact one of the more powerful wines of the vintage, with excellent depth and sweetness. The finish is chewy and strikingly long. Avril compares this one to 1995 in quality.
JD 94 (3/2013): Still drinking beautifully and showing a mix of youthful, ripe fruit and hints of maturity, the 2004 Clos des Papes is loaded with kirsch, licorice, leather, graphite, and Asian spice aromas and flavors that flow seamlessly to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, yet rich palate. Fresh, with upfront acidity, it blossoms with air, and while superb now, won’t hit full maturity for another 3-5 years. Impressive and easily one of the top wines of the vintage. |
