  Sehr dichtes Rubinrot, jugendlicher Glanz. violette Reflexe. Die Nase ist superkomplex, rauchige Noten über dunkler Beerenfrucht, Brombeere, Heidelbeere und Schwarzkirsche, dazu Tee und Lakritze, mit mehr Luft zeigen sich auch florale Töne und eine noble Pfeffernote. Im Gaumen reichhaltig und fruchtbetont, ein Mund voll Wein, Massen von Tanninen, deren Qualität über alle Zweifel erhaben ist, Frucht, Struktur, Alkohol, alles ist ausgewogen. Im Abgang von majestätischer Länge mit floralen und dunkelfruchtigen Rückaromen. Natürlich ist dieser Wein noch sehr jugendlich und weit weg von einem idealen Trinkfenster, jedoch bezüglich Qualität einer der ganz grossen Weine dieser Welt. 2033 bis 2050. 98 vvPunkte

  A private tasting (Aventura Wines, Amsterdam, NL): I am not obsessed with perfection in wine, but this really has an air of perfection about it. Everything is right about this wine, everything is in the right place, intense and elegant, pure and precise, effortless ease, glorious fruit, super-refined tannins, marvellous length. So beautifully constructed, like a perfectly cut diamond or a Mozart symphony. Striking finesse. Delicious now, great future.

  Drank this beauty (60% Mourvedre) from the magnum and along side by side with Mas de Boislauzon cuvee Tintot with 85% Mourvedre (see separate notes) and Andremily Mourvedre (~70-80% mourvedre see separate notes). All three wines (rated 99-100) are the best of the best mourvedre out there. Now I can understand why this wine had been one of Robert Parker's favorite wines and why it's a benchmark for others to beat or study. This is a rare wine that may well worth spending $ on unlike many other similar or more expensive wines (such as Screaming Eagle or Masseto).
  
  Jacques Perrin (JP) is the most ready to enjoy right out of the gate without much decanting or aeration! This is a truly elixir with great suppleness and purity of dark and rich fruit flavor profile without feeling heavy even though it has great concentration and full body. The wine is in perfect balance with incredible plush, velvety, seamless texture with great viscosity; and ultra fine tannin integrated perfectly with pure concentration of flavor. The sweet provencal herbal notes and ripe dark fruits aroma is perfumey and elegant without over-powering. It has great lingering finish and begging for a few more gulps!
  
  The only and best word to describe this wine is FINESSE! It's one of those rare wines where the perfect balance between rich concentration and elegant structure; and the intoxicating aromatics with purity of flavor. Bravo! Hat off!
  
  The only thing I am not sure of is how well it will age and hold its peak for how many years, given this is the first vintage I have ever drank (will know more next year when the 2016 vintage order arrive). However, I think 2019 Mas de Boislauzon cuvee le Tintot could give JP a run for its money in 10-15 years from now (tasted vertical line up of Tintot from 2006 to 2019 and those 2006-10 are still in peak form with primary fruit profile which reminded me of Ridge Monte Bello with the characteristics of tremendous age-ability and holding its primary fruit notes; and I will post those notes later on). Some wine critics have likened Andremily Mourvedre to JP probably for its supple texture and some aspect of its flavor (from some vintages); but Andremily style is more in your face and "heavier" relatively speaking (but not heavy compared to many other wines, including cut Napa cabs)
  
  Rating: 98-100; 99+

  Incredibly concentrated, almost dense, yet, even with all the weight, heft and power, everything here is perfectly balanced, which lets you focus on all the meaty, dark, red fruits, peppery spice, grilled beef, flowers, smoked cherries and plums. This palate staining gem delivers a solid 60 second finish that build and expands. This is not a wine for consumers without patience as you should wait at least 12-15 years before thinking about pulling a cork. But based on tasting numerous previous vintages, this is going to be worth the wait. Drink from 2030 - 2050
