Very deep color. The nose, masterful, with notes of pencil lead and flint, reveals delicate aromas of dark berries and blueberries. Smooth, voluptuous, with notes of stewed black fruits, combined with licorice, violet, plum, caramel and salted butter.
"Absolutely brilliant, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz (from soils of the same name) is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, with the Grenache aged in foudre and the Syrah component aged in small barrels. This wine displays oodles of minerality, a dense ruby/purple color, and a sweet kiss of black currants and raspberries intermixed with licorice, pepper, and crushed rock. Admirably combining power with finesse, this full-bodied beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 10-14 years.91-93"

"Vivid ruby-red. Heady, complex bouquet evokes red and dark berry compote, lavender, sandalwood and minerals, with a lashing of Asian spices. Sappy and alluringly sweet on the palate, displaying intense raspberry and mulberry flavors and slow-building florality. Shows impressive power on the finish, where the lavender and spice notes carry through."
