Critics Ratings
‘Showing brilliantly, with a deep, rich and layered profile, the 2004 Châteauneuf-du-Pape has gorgeous black cherry, earth, underbrush and background meatiness that gives way to a full-bodied, concentrated and pure feel on the palate. A foudre-aged blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Cinsault, with the balance a mix of the other permitted varieties, this knockout Châteauneuf-du-Pape will have another 10-15 years of prime drinking.’ - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Feb 2014)
‘Thoroughly primal, with a torrent of raspberry and boysenberry fruit rushing forth. Only shows hints of its full range, with licorice, incense, graphite and mocha flavors fluttering in the background. Has an iron-clad structure, with a long finish that shows great cut and grip. Best from 2009 through 2025.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (May 2007)
