Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2021 IMP (6 L)

The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is approximately 60% Mourvèdre. 20% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Marked by scents of truffle and tree bark. great blackberry and black cherry fruit. plus accents of licorice and peppery spice. it's another in a line of terrific wines that have been made every year since 2009. Full-bodied. rich and concentrated. it's velvety but tannic. with enough structure and intensity on the lingering finish to expect at least two decades of cellaring potential (but probably more).
