Der 2009er beeindruckt mit seiner herrlich duftigen, intensiven Nase nach dunklen Kirschen, Pflaume, Cassis, Brombeere, feine Gewürznoten. Am Gaumen schöne Komplexität, wieder dichte Fruchtaromen, bei aller Intensität aber immer frisch und klar definiert, nie erdrückend. Robert Parker: „ The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is probably one of the strongest “regular” efforts I have ever tasted from Sabon. This dense purple blend of 75 to 80% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre and Syrah, aged in truncated wood cuves and foudres, has a beautiful, sweet nose of black cherry jam intermixed with roasted herbs, black currants, forest floor and a hint of charcoal. The wine has great intensity, full-bodied opulence, and a striking seductiveness that is already irresistible. It should continue to drink well for 12-15 years..” Ein richtig guter Châteauneuf-du-Pape!
94/Robert Parker
