RP 93 IWC 89-92 - Robert Parker 93 Points The 4,400-case blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as a wonderfully sweet nose of fresh black truffles, incense, blue and black fruits, roasted herbs, and earth. The wine is full-bodied and pure with fresh acids, silky tannins, and a voluptuous mouthfeel. Drink this beauty over the next 10-12 years. International Wine Cellar 89-92 Points Deep red. Exotic, expressive aromas of strawberry, white flowers and apricot; this shows the vibrancy and perfume read more...of a white wine. Deeper raspberry and cherry on the palate, with the floral quality repeating. This exuberant wine will drink well young.    (hide)
