Jancis Robinson
Dark and ripe with some savoury character. A cool finish and both very round and mineral. Interesting wine!
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The straight Châteauneuf du Pape (65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault) comes mostly from rolled-pebble terroir, yet also has a fair chunk from sandy soils as well. A beautiful traditional cuvee, it gives up notions of sweet black cherries, leafy herbs, olive and underbrush to go with a medium-bodied, elegant and textured mouthfeel. Leaning more toward the pretty, finesse-driven end of the spectrum, it drinks beautifully today, but will evolve nicely through 2024. (JD) (10/2014)
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Bright ruby. Dark berry and cherry pit aromas are lifted by notes of fresh lavender and white pepper. Densely packed dark fruit flavors pick up a bitter edge with air, along with a touch of licorice. Pretty serious for a "basic" Chateauneuf, finishing with good energy and tannic grip. (1/2014)
Wine Spectator
Fleshy plum and fig paste notes are lined with dark cocoa and roasted alder hints. The toast leaves a slightly hefty feel on the finish. (9/2014)
