Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

Fashioned from 44% Grenache and equal parts Mourvedre and Syrah, the ruby/purple-colored 1995 offers tight but promising aromas of red and black fruits, scorched earth, wood some, and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, and tightly knit

Winespectator (94)

Tasted from magnum. Dark, even exotic, with fig, bramble, sweet cocoa, Lapsang souchong tea and dried fruitcake aromas and flavors. Creamy texture, with a long, fruit-filled finish that really explodes at the last minute.--1995 Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective.
