Savor it over time! Enjoy this half a case of 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne. This wine is 100% Roussanne completely aged in small barrels. The oak is pushed to the background, so I suspect most of the barrels are used. Rich, waxy, honeyed notes of marmalade, floral, and tropical fruit, a terrific texture, and a long, pure finish are found in this sensational wine. One of the top Chateauneuf du Papes of the vintage, it can be enjoyed over the next 2 to 3 years. Rated 93 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
