January 2, 2019 - Deep garnet color. Earthy, musky aromas. Ripe entry shows the warm vintage. Dark cherry backlit by bright acids. The acids keep this from heaviness. Dry finish. This has miles to go. Still a little tight. 89-90.

December 31, 2018 - The color is very dark. The wine is very full-bodied, very fruity, very alcoholic and jammy. The aromas óf ripe dark fruits are impressive. The aftertaste is long. As a whole, and compared to some other CdP's, I find this wine a bit one-dimensional and heavy, but it is very enjoyable and big wine anyway. In my opinion, this wine is in a good drinking spot now.

April 2, 2018 - Janasse is one of the best Rhone wineries, with consistent high quality across the entire line, and impressive offerings at all price levels. This is their baseline Chateauneuf du Pape and the first bottle of the 2009 we have opened. Opaque colored, very aromatic, deliciously fruity, refreshing acidity, smooth and drying tannin, with a long and lingering finish. Highly enjoyable now with no need to drink up soon.

April 2, 2018 - Lots of sweet dark fruit, licorice and chocolate. Drinks very well now but will continue to develop.
