Mont Olivet Chateauneuf du Pape Petit Mont 2009

Clos du Mont-Olivet Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2009 "Le Petit Mont" - Great Grenache based wines have a profusion of raspberry and rosemary. Add a top quality vintage and it just explodes with everything there is to love about these wines. Aromas of mushroom dust, au jus, raw rib eye steak, and wild raspberry. Absolutely seamless and incredibly sexy. Balanced and harmonious, and not showing any of the overblown aspects of many current CDP releases. Man oh man this is good. Second taste (five minutes later): this is opening up beautifully so. The complexity of the wine is showing in profound ways, with incredible detail and panache. Quite the wine.
