97-100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The same can be said for the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, as this insanely impressive barrel sample transcends the vintage. Full-bodied, decadent and layered, with massive concentration and purity, it’s loaded with black and blue fruits, violets, truffle, licorice and assorted floral notes. This cuvee always shows fabulous fruit in its youth, and it doesn’t start to gain its hallmark gaminess until after a few years in bottle. In addition, this cooler vintage, with its ample moisture and autumn summer, produced Mourvedre with off-the-charts aromatic purity and perfect ripeness. It will clearly be in the top 1-2 wines and will have 3-4 decades of longevity. (JD) (10/2014)

94-96 points Vinous

Glass-staining purple. An explosively perfumed bouquet of fresh black and blue fruits, incense, candied licorice and violet, with a smoky mineral element adding vivacity. Sweet, penetrating and pure, offering intense, palate-staining blackcurrant and black raspberry flavors lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity. Gains flesh and weight with air while maintaining urgency and finishes sappy, smoky and very long, with fine-grained tannins building slowly. (JR) (2/2015)
