Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel, Hommage à Jacques Perrin--Vintage 2007
Rhône. Château-bottled: Perrin
In original wooden case
Tasting note: No Hommage à Jacques Perrin was made in 2008, but the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is an utterly perfect wine. Composed of 60 Mourvèdre, 20 Syrah, and the rest Counoise and Grenache, this prodigious effort boasts an inky/blue/purple color to the rim in addition to an exceptional bouquet of camphor, roasted meats, blueberries, black cherries, black currants, truffles, beef blood, pepper, and incense. The sumptuous aromatics are followed by a wine of compelling intensity, full-bodied power, perfect balance, laser-like focus, and a finish that lasts more than a minute. The 2007's texture reminds me of the 1998 Jacques Perrin, and the freshness of the fruit and explosive aromatics are to die for. There are only 500 cases of this legend in the making, but for those lucky enough to find any, it will last for 40-60 years. 100 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #185, October 2009
