2014 Homage to Jacques Perrin

I was shocked by the quality of the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin and I can't think of another wine that comes close to this level of depth, concentration and richness in this vintage. Its inky color is followed by sensational notes of roasted herbs, licorice, caramelized meat and layers of black and blue fruits. Rich, full-bodied, thick and unctuous - hats off to the Perrin family for this incredible achievement!
