vanillin oak character but noteworthy fruit as well. The floral
note repeats on the long finish, which features a juicy blueberry
quality.

Maturity: 2010-2025 - The limited production
2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Exceptionnelle is stunning. Beautiful floral
notes intermixed with licorice, incense, black raspberry, black cherry liqueur
and a hint of camphor are followed by a dense, full-bodied, opaque
ruby/purple-colored wine with layer upon layer of fruit and texture. This wine
is very 2007-ish in style and personality and should drink well for 15+ years.
Parker 2012 : (93) The deep purple-hued, savory Vieux Lazaret 2009
Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Exceptionnelle is a richer, fuller, more intense and
compelling example of the traditional cuvee. Given the voluptuous nature and
opulence of the 2009 vintage, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for 15
years. It is expansive and full-bodied with copious black cherry and black
raspberry fruit notes intertwined with hints of licorice and incense. This
seductive effort is irresistible
DECANTER° 2009
(Livingstone). Quite dark robe; notably
meaty, brooding aroma – soaked black fruits and chocolate on parade. The
palate is similar, with its sappy, dense flavour and texture: it holds a juiced
richness with tannins around it; ripeness is 85%, chalky snap is 15% of it. It is
wild for now, and needs time. Can fuse together. Has a tangy finale. From

International Wine Cellar (Tanzer) 91 points:
Saturated ruby.
Sexy, oak-spiced aromas and flavors of black and blue fruits, with a floral
quality gaining strength with aeration. Supple and sweet, with plenty of
rouge vif. Nez intense et généreux mariant les fruits noirs, les épices et
les notes de cacao. La bouche marie ampleur, élégance, soyeux, sans
pour autant négliger structure et puissance. Remarquable cuvée, très
complète. INCONTOURNABLE.
