2015 Red Wine from Chateauneuf Du Pape

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Aromas of dried roses, garrigue herbs and red fruit with terrific purity and freshness. Lithe raspberries on the bright, even and crisp palate. Fabulous, fresh acidity, depth, length and power here. A kick of bitter herbs...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: (WA 97-100 points) Tasting just like the Les Trois Source (they come from the same terroir), yet with just another level of polish and purity to its tannin and fruit, the sensational 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92 points) Brilliant ruby. Pungent dark berry, licorice and garrigue aromas are energized by a hint of white pepper. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cassis and blood orange flavors that show...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (95-97) What will easily be one of the top wines in the vintage, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Trois Source is the finest example of this cuvée I’ve tasted. Just massively concentrated and voluptuous, with a huge...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Consisting of one-third each Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Coralie et Floriane is a spectacular wine. It's a blend of lots from three different lieux-dits, each with a different soil type...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Saintes Vierges is the most flattering of Santa Duc's current releases, offering lushness and generosity on the palate, notes of cherries and licorice, creamy-supple tannins and a...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Combe des Fous shows the seamless, silky side to the vintage, and has closed down slightly since I tasted it from barrel. Its big, intense nose of black cherries, blueberries, white chocolate...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The Mourvèdre dominated 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Part des Anges (70% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 10% Syrah aged mostly in new barrels) is also deep ruby/purple in color. It offers a modern style in its blackberry...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Tasted blind. Slightly dull crimson. Lacks a bit of freshness on the nose. Very sweet and lightly spicy. Lots of spine and fine tannin. Chew on the end. Herby tannins. Needs a bit of time but this could deliver.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Habemus Papam suffers only by comparison to the domaine's other micro-cuvées. It still delivers lovely cherry and stone fruit notes, medium to full body and ample concentration. The tannins...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: As I reported last year, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo is impressive. While it's less flamboyantly aromatic than the Cuvée Réservée, it's more powerful and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich, it's loaded with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: My top pick from the outstanding lineup of Santa Duc's 2015 Châteauneufs was the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau Ouest, of which only 200 cases were produced. This pure Grenache offers sumptuous aromas of violets and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Pied de Baud, a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault, offers compelling scents of rose petals and raspberries on the nose. While not as richly textural as some of the other...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is a terrific effort. Blended from six different lieux-dits, it's roughly 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The result features bright raspberry fruit, plenty of weight and richness...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Ripe and warm in feel, featuring steeped plum and red currant fruit wrapped with melted red licorice, apple wood and bay leaf notes. The focused finish has ample spine, with a strong bolt of iron at the end. Best from...
