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...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes carries a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a classic bouquet of black raspberries, ground pepper, garrigue and hints of graphite. Gorgeously pure, elegant and seamless...

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, 95 points: Half of the fabulous 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Origines was aged in new barriques, the rest in concrete vats, so there is some oak in play here, but the blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah has...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Partially destemmed, vinified in concrete and raised in foudre, this is a super effort among the entry-level 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape. It's 80% Grenache Noir (worth making the distinction because there is some Grenache...

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...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: A total stunner, with a long, pure beam of raspberry and red currant coulis streaming through, flanked by light violet, iron and incense notes before picking up lilting rooibos tea and rose petal accents on the...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA91-94 points) The 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Vendange checks in as a blend of 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre that was raised mostly in concrete tanks, with just 10% in barrel. Plums, blackberries...

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Half of the fabulous 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Origines was aged in new barriques, the rest in concrete vats, so there is some oak in play here, but the blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah has...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This has the fleshy, pure and driven vintage profile of cassis and raspberry running right down the middle, with an amped-up finish of roasted apple wood, graphite and ganache notes providing a thumping bass line. Needs a...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: This has an intense core of crushed plum, raspberry and boysenberry fruit flavors, draped with melted licorice notes and backed by a wave of warm fruitcake. Hedonistic for sure, but accents of anise, violet and singed...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This is a voluptuous, slightly warming wine with bold alcohol and luscious flavors of mulberry and black cherry. Delicate notes of violet, lavender and garrigue lend a perfumed, airy lift. It's a rich but elegant wine...
