CHATEAUNEUF 09 HILLAIRE TRADT
ROBERT PARKER 91 POINTS -
"The deep ruby/purple-colored 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (90% tank-aged Grenache and 10% barrel-aged Syrah from 65-year-old vines) appears to have resolved all the tannins that stood out last year. Notes of black cherry liqueur, licorice, tobacco leaf, bouquet garni, roasted meats and peppery spice emerge from this full-bodied, luscious Chateauneuf meant for drinking over the next 10-12 years.."
