Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Potentially the wine of the vintage, the 2009 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin had just been bottled two weeks before my visit. A wine of extraordinary density, richness, precision and unreal flavor intensity, it reveals abundant gamey, meaty notes intermixed with smoked duck, Provencal herbs, blueberries, blackberries, kirsch and licorice. This loaded, multidimensional, massively concentrated 2009 is much softer than most Hommages. It should be drinkable in 3-4 years and keep for 30-40 years thereafter. Kudos to one of the world’s great winemaking families!
Wine Spectator
Very dense, with Turkish coffee, roasted alder and allspice notes out front, followed by a huge core of Black Mission fig, crushed black currant and black licorice notes. The long finish lets loam and ganache flavors stride through, showing cut and precision. This has serious power and intensity, and should cruise easily in the cellar.
Decanter
Still opaquely coloured, but it's there now; open and developed, albeit still young. A wonderfully harmonious nose that's difficult to pick apart; it almost feels a bit gauche to try. It's still principally on the fruit, blackberry and black plum, but there are some dried citrus peels, nutmeg and cigarette tobacco. A very immediate wine, but it coats your mouth with fruit and ripe tannin, not to mention alcohol, which is quite raised in this vintage. Very long finish. Bold and proud. Drinking Window 2020 - 2046.
