2009 Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf Du Pape Vielles Vignes

A blend of 75% old vine Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the balance a mix of Cinsault, Mourvèdre. Spiced black kirsch fruit on the nose with hints of espresso, licorice spice, animal, sweet herbs and bright floral nuance to the bouquet very complex. Thick and viscous on the tongue with ripe tannins and lots of spice to sweet herb and floral nuance on the finish, big but still has nice freshness and a long finish. Finish 50 Most Excellent
