Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 91 | |
| The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape reveals the vintage¿s peppery, earthy spiciness along with notes of forest floor, root vegetables, black cherries, and meat. This rich, medium to full-bodied effort possesses moderately soft tannin as well as good body, depth, and richness. It is a strong effort that should age nicely for 15+ years. | |
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 91-94 | |
| "Deep ruby. Smoky cherry and blackcurrant aromas convey a wild, gamey quality, along with suave floral and mineral lift; smells like a northern Rhone wine. Deep dark fruit liqueur and olive flavors are sharpened by zesty minerals and finish with impressive grip and thrust. Combines energy and depth deftly." | |
| Wine Spectator 93 | |
| Slightly firm, with juniper, sage and sandalwood hints framing dark plum, currant, coffee and mineral notes. The grippy finish has a cedar note in the background, with hints of black teah and tar. A gutsy style, with fresh acidity in reserve. |
