2009 CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Tradition Domaine Giraud

2009 CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Tradition Domaine Giraud

Grapes: Mourvèdre  Grenache  Syrah  Origin: France, Rhône
Lea & Sandeman review
Smells of small berries with thick skins. Lots of tannin. Very sweet fruit, tastes like a pure Grenache, juicy, velvet soft and sweet. Really a 'gourmandise'. Very ripe, even a touch of overripe, but it remains fresh, gourmand, gorgeous. Long, long finish.

Other reviews and comments
The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition (a blend and upbringing identical to the 2008) has a dark ruby/plum color, cuts a slightly broader swath across the palate than the 2008, and is perhaps at least a degree higher in alcohol. With its fleshy, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, it is already evolved and complex, but it should drink nicely for up to a decade.   89-91/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
(60% grenache, 25% syrah and 15% mourvedre; one-third of this wine was raised in barriques, the rest in concrete): Ruby-red. Red and dark berries on the nose, with smoke and licorice nuances adding complexity. Round and fleshy on the palate, with a touch of warmth to the ripe, open-knit cherry and blackberry flavors. Finishes with good power and lingering dark fruit qualities, but I'd like to have seen more vivacity and shape.   88
