Wine Critic Reviews

James Suckling (94): A fleshy, driven and velvety Chateauneuf-du-Pape, exhibiting aromas of crushed strawberries, forest berries, warm herbs and baking spices. It's full-bodied with fine tannins and generous fruit, yet it remains in control, with a refined texture and a long, lively and flavorful finish. Delicious bitter-orange aftertaste. Drink or hold.
