Brambly fruit, exotic spice and stemmy herbaceous additions, this complex, fresh and seriously structured and youthfully unevolved red is clearly built for the long run. A tarry, earthy layer on the lengthy finish creates sincere interest which separates it from nearly all other wines within Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Love it! 96+ p.

May 13th, 2016Beautifully structured with pronounced yet sweet tannins, spicy minerality and an acidic bite on the finish. Great length, really energetic and vibrant, with an expansive mid palate creating true balance. This will go another 15 years easily. Solid 95 point wine.
