Le Vieux Donjon, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France, 2009, 750ml

Also gorgeous, but in a more forward, perfumed style, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is loaded with kirsch, wild strawberry, licorice, Asian spice and wild herb-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, sweetly fruited, voluptuous and textured, it’s hard to resist now, but will age gracefully. – 94 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
