"The first vintage for this cuvee, the still inky colored 1989 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage Ă Jacques Perrin is deeper, richer and more powerful than the 1990, yet slightly less evolved and exuberant. From a scorching hot and dry year, this incredible cuvee is massive on all counts, with classic dark fruits, roasted herbs, charred meats, melted licorice and truffle aromas and flavors, full-bodied richness, a dense, layered, multidimensional texture and a blockbuster finish that just wouldnât quit. Like the 1990, thereâs certainly some evolution here, and itâs a gorgeous drink today, but it should easily continue to evolve through 2030+. Coming mostly from a plot of old vines located behind the estate, the Perrin Familyâs Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage Ă Jacques Perrin was first created in 1989 and is a tribute to the late Jacques Perrin, who passed away in 1978. Aged all in foudre and normally a blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 10% Counoise and the rest Syrah, itâs only produced in top vintages and thereâs normally a scant 400-500 cases to go around. Itâs an incredible, yet atypical Châteauneuf du Pape due to its high Mourvèdre content. While most vintages require upwards of a decade of cellaring, the more forward, sexy vintages can certainly be enjoyable in their youth as well."
