"18 Points - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com
Cask sample. Rich, succulent black fruit with wonderful clarity and effortless depth. A real masterclass of the appellation, with meaty complexity on the palate as well as persistent fragrant spices. Spot-on balance to finish, even though the tannins are still very brash and furry. Certainly needs age, and should be a really wonderful investment., November 2018"
Arguably the benchmark to which all other Châteauneuf is measured; full-bodied, tannic and rich with considerable power
