Dark crimson. Very sweet and round. Super-juicy fruit with extra intensity and a bit more smoothness than the average Tradition bottling. Fresh finish. Just a little alcohol obvious on the finish. 17/20

Rhone Report, The, September 2012

A 100% Grenache cuvee that is aged all in tank for 14-16 months, the 2010 M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de Bois is a gorgeously perfumed, complex wine that boasts knockout aromas of wild flowers, violets, black cherries, loamy earth, and loads of Provencal spice and herbs. While more fruit forward and upfront than the Barbe Rac, the purity and class here is something. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated on the palate, yet with an elegant suppleness that makes you want to pour another glass, this classic 2010 has the fruit and texture to be enjoyable now, yet will have no problem evolving for 15-20 years. - Jeb Dunnuck

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2012

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois, which comes from the Bedarrides sector of Chateauneuf du Pape, reveals flamboyant aromas of licorice, Christmas fruitcake, loamy soil, black cherries, black currants and raspberries. This spicy, peppery, earthy, exotic, full-bodied, super-rich 2010 is slightly more structured than the superb 2009. It begs for several years of cellaring, and should drink well for 15 or more. -Robert Parker

Vivid ruby. A heady, seductive bouquet evokes black raspberry and cherry liqueur, potpourri and allspice, with a bright mineral overtone. Shows impressive clarity and energy, offering penetrating dark berry and floral pastille flavors that gain weight with air. Spreads out on the finish, which features soft tannins and a whiplash of sweet dark fruit. This wine was raised entirely in concrete.
