Incredibly rare 3L format with perfect provenance! "As with the 1995, the 1999 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is fully mature and has a solid spine of acidity giving it a focused, vibrant style. Based on 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, and 10% each of Syrah and Counoise brought up in foudre, it shows cooler notes of blackcurrants, Asian spice, graphite, charcuterie, and spice. Full-bodied, concentrated, and elegant on the palate, it’s drinking brilliantly today yet will cruise for another 15 years or more. It would be a good option for readers looking for a classic, fully mature example of this cuvée." - 96 points, Jeb Dunnuck Show more
