Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
is closed and less expressive than the '00, 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: '10 - '35. |
