Critics Ratings

‘Good full red. Riper, more roasted nose than the above, with grenache-dominated aromas of cherry, game, pepper, flowers and tar. Gamey, ripe and expansive in the mouth, with deep flavors of woodsmoke and pepper and plenty of alcoholic clout. Serious and dense rather than simply ripe and sweet.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Jan 1999)

‘The excellent 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape displays an intensely fragrant nose of kirsch, pepper, Provencal herbs, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, round, generous, and supple.’ – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (Feb 1999)

‘Very aromatic, with a grilled meat, spice, freshly ground coffee bean, pepper and animal character that's quite exotic. Polished but delicate. Medium-bodied, with toasty, smoky notes on the finish.’ – Wine Spectator (Sep 1998)
