93 points Decanter"Majoring on black pepper spice, damson and raspberry fruits, this is austere right now, with plenty of tannic heft. A wine that is going to age well but needs another five years in bottle to really open up. But there is juice...

Vinous Reverie NotesBlend: 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre. The grapes come entirely from Cotes du Rhone Villages vineyards, in particular from Sablet, which borders Gigondas. Old vines ensure a full-bodied, broad and deeply-colored...

Vinous Reverie NotesTasting Notes: An easy-drinking wine with aromas of red and black berries (blackcurrant, blackberry, crunchy cherry), peony, pepper, coffee, and hints of hazelnut on the finish. It is a gourmet and balanced wine, full of freshness...

Jancis Robinson "Developed mid ruby with orange tinges, and lustrous. Striking nose with balsamic herb-liqueur notes. While not pushing the fruit button, it is complex. Truly resonates the warm summer soils of the south, but with a cool-breeze core...

92 points Wine Advocate"The Toro red 2017 Gago comes from a vintage affected by spring frost that wiped out some vineyards and an end of the season that was very warm and dry and pushed the pH up. The wine is riper than usual, reflecting the conditions...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2019 Gigondas Les Murailles showed beautifully, with considerable elegance as well as a Provençal charm in its kirsch liqueur, blackberry, cedary garrigue, and loamy soil-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied and...

92 points Wine Spectator"A luscious, fruity style, offering black currant, black cherry, wet earth, vanilla and mineral notes. Dense, showing some grip on the extended finish. Overall, this is polished and harmonious. Drink now through 2033." Vinous...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"A terrific wine that harkens back to the 2016, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers black cherries, blackberries and black olives, plus intriguing notes of garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and silky, it finishes long,...

97 points Decanter"Frosts damaged the the earlier-developing Cabernet Franc in late March, leading to reduced production but superb quality fruit. Spring was mild and summer was generally warm, but a rapid acceleration of maturation in late summer forced...
