Critics Ratings

'Really distinctive, with a gutsy, chewy frame supporting clove, blood orange, coffee, brick dust, macerated currant fruit, warm fig and hoisin sauce notes. The long, grippy finish has lots of mesquite, braised chestnut and spice notes. Best from 2010 through 2030. 500 cases made.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Jun 2008)

'More evolved, the 2004 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence gives up copious kirsch, saddle leather, exotic spice and underbrush in its medium to full-bodied, supple and nicely textured profile. Nearing maturing but should evolve gracefully for another decade.' - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Feb 2014)
