The wine of the vintage is the Perrin's 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, and it will most likely merit a perfect rating in another couple of years. Full-bodied, massive and layered on the palate, with awesome purity and freshness, it delivers incredible aromatics of beef blood, truffle, graphite, iron and black and blue fruits... It's a tour de force that will have 3-4 decades of life. eRobertParker.com

Very concentrated. Perfumed and layered with all the influence 100+ year old vines have to offer. Exceptional. Special.

Delightful. My first taste of this. Super fruit forward yet not jammy or sticky in any way. Consistent and bright throughout - this was a treat for the palate.
