2009 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines 3 L

Tasting Note:

The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines (1,500 cases produced) is a blend of 50% Grenache a whopping 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah with the latter two components spending time in new oak barrels. All of the fruit comes from vines that are nearly 70 years of age. A great wine with an opaque ruby/purple color sensational fruit intensity and notes of graphite lavender licorice lead pencil shavings and subtle smoke it is full-bodied rich and powerful with low acidity and sweet velvety tannins. It should drink well for 15+ years. Source: Wine Advocate
