CLOS SAINT JEAN CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE LA COMBE DES FOUS, 2009 (12)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

A wine that blew me away, and the best bottle of this I've tasted, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Combe des Fous gave up exotic and intense aromas and flavors of ground pepper, kirsch liqueur, incense, white chocolate and crushed flowers. About as seamless and sexy as they come, this extraordinary Chateauneuf boasts incredible concentration, no hard edges and insane length on the finish. Much more forward and open than the 2010, drink it over the coming 10 to 15 years. 99 WA

Estimate $1,500-$1,800
