Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1997

The 1990 red Chateauneuf du Pape is marginally superior to the 1989. The color is a saturated opaque purple, and the nose offers up beautifully pure, super ripe aromas of black cherries, cassis, herbs, and pepper. In the mouth there is splendid ripeness, a rich, full-bodied texture, as well as a long, moderately tannic, structured, immensely impressive finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2007.

About Winery

The proprietors of a reasonably large estate of nearly 70 acres, with parcels spread throughout Chateauneuf du Pape, the Boiron family has long been a fixture in the appellation, dating at least as far back as the mid-1800s . Nicolas Boiron, who is running the estate now, is certainly a bigger than life character, both literally and figuratively. He is possibly the tallest vigneron in the southern Rhone. His property is a wonderful source of traditional Chateauneuf du Papes that are consistently well-made and among the best-known of the appellation. Their 2009s are all strong efforts, and their 2010s, to my taste, are the greatest wines they have produced since 1990, even eclipsing their success in the sensational vintage of 2007. The 2010s are probably the finest wines Nicolas Boiron has yet made, equal to the success they had in 1990, and eclipsing the wondrous vintage of 2007.-Robert Parker
