1994 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin 1994 Chateau de Beaucastel

Description

Scoring 92/100 Parker points “Similar to the 1995, the 1994 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage À Jacques Perrin (70% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 10% Grenache, and 5% Counoise) comes from a vintage that had a hot summer (even hotter than 1995), followed by heavy rains on September 17th during harvest. Due to the warming growing season, ripeness was further along here, and this vintage favored those that harvested prior to rains. Probably the least impressive wine in the lineup, the 1994 offers a savory, complex profile with lots of garrigue, cured meats, Provencal herbs and sweet red and black fruits. It’s medium to full-bodied and concentrated, but there’s a slight dry edge to the tannin that gives me pause, and this is a wine I’d opt for drinking over the coming 4-5 years while there’s still ample fruit.” Drink now – 2027.
