  Well constructed Rhone wine that seems to still be on the upswing in its aging process. This bottle has come together with even, full fruit and seems to be improved from the last one I tried. I sense that some rough edges have been removed and the quality of 2009 is beginning to shine through.

  Very ripe, fruit forward. Straight ahead wine with good balance, but not a lot of interesting nuance or range of flavor. Enjoyable, but not memorable.

  At its peak, smooth and harmonious, with little tannic astringency. Seems healthy and capable of further aging, but the black and red fruits seem in good balance with acidity and alcohol, but less exuberant than when last tasted a year or so ago.

  Dark and lush; sweet ripe fruit with plenty of clean earth; cassis; enuf acidity to keep it real; so easy to drink

  Monthly Tasting Group HWS #097; Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 vs 2009 (By RvD): Purple color. In the bouquet cerise, spices, sweet licorice and leather. On the palate cherry liquor chocolates, juicy fruits, a lot of herbs and spices e.g. clove, a touch of sweetness, medium acidity and round tannin with a soft and pleasant bite. This 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah offers an enjoyable and concentrated wine. Ready now and it will drink nicely until at least 2017.
