Decanter: 96 Points
Relatively black-fruited for a pure Grenache, it's generous in fruit but not excessive, the alcohol is high of course (it's pure Grenache), but it feels integrated. Long, pure, velvety - this is really stunning. Lifted plum fruit, dusted with dried oregano. It's young, but already quite accessible. It will age well thanks to its freshness and balance. Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chaupin, La Janasse and La Crau, mostly sandy soils, the oldest planted in 1912.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A perfumed nose of cherries, red plums, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried leaves, roasted meat, black pepper, stones and dried flowers. Full-bodied with fine grained tannins. Ample and creamy with a caressing texture of red berries on the palate, with a touch of spices, bringing vibrancy throughout. Layered and succulent. Crisp towards the long finish.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A tasty red, with steeped cherry and raspberry paste propped up by a ballast of graphite. Shows fine-textured tannins that build in intensity, making for a well-framed close flecked with black tea and sandalwood notes. A perfumy, energetic style, with nice form. Drink now through 2032.
