\u2662 Ch\u00e2teau de Beaucastel<\/strong> \u00a0\"Hommage \u00e0 Jacques Perrin Grande Cuv\u00e9e\" 2007<\/h2>\n

99\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"The fragrance of this wine is truly intoxicating, with notes of fig, linzer torte (Austrian pie), blackcurrant jam and melted licorice, aromas specific to this vintage. A wine concentrated in aroma, but carries them effortlessly, thanks to perfectly integrated tannins. There are creamy layers of tar, notes of mesquite, braised chestnut and maduro cigar. This wine offers a stunning mouthfeel, a range of flavors and impressive density. You'll notice its purity and length, highlighting the glory of Mourv\u00e8dre in 2007.<\/p>\n

Its guard will be able to reach the year 2035. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

97\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"A very dense wine, with notes of Turkish coffee, alder. In the foreground, notes of roasted allspice, followed by a huge core of \"Blackmission\" fig, crushed blackcurrant and hints of black licorice. The long finish takes you back to the vineyards of the terroir, with notes of ganache showing cut and precision. This wine holds serious power and intensity, and should cruise you straight to the cellar!\"
\nSince this year, this wine has been ideal for tasting.<\/p>\n

It will evolve until 2030.<\/p>\n

97\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Extremely dense, with notes of braised figs, hoisin sauce and blackberries. The encavage will allow it to develop its fruitiness even further. Lots of coffee, ganache and charcoal notes. A bittersweet flavor fills out the background of this great wine. A foreground of well-rounded tannins, helping to hammer out the finish. An impressive combination of power and purity. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

99\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"This wine is extremely concentrated, with notes of mushrooms in demi-glace sauce, licorice, tar and hoisin sauce (Chinese barbecue sauce). It's also wonderfully textured, with additional layers of raspberry, fig and blackcurrant paste - supported by its thickness and ripe tannins. The sandy finish will leave you dusty, and wanting more! \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Intoxicating and loaded, yet well-defined, this wine holds astonishing depth and intensity with notes of pastis-soaked plums, blackberry and cherry aromas, edged with brick dust, chocolate, espresso and light tobacco. The finish is long and tarry, yet lush and seductive. Light notes of chestnut and cedar add further choice and character. A great wine with perfect balance. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"This monster holds a dark nose of freshly ground coffee, notes of cedar, brick dust, and cocoa powder, with roasted pheasant, garrigue and hints of tar. The finish is very structured, dense, chewy and still very tight, with a note of rusty iron. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2662 Domaine Saint-Pr\u00e9fert<\/strong> 2010<\/h2>\n

99\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"A massive, yet remarkably graceful wine, with prominent notes of figs, plum sauce and linzer torte (Austrian pie). There are also aromas of espresso, graphite and black tea. Petrichor scent (scent of the earth after rain: \"the blood of the gods\"), Shiso leaves and tobacco notes on the finish. The finish is broad and very muscular, yet refined. It's a loaded wine with considerable weight, but easy to drink, thanks to the seamless mouthfeel. A stunning combination of power and grace. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Notes of Kenyan AA coffee, braised figs, charred mesquite, blended blackcurrant and blackberry. The aromas all work together to deliver a muscular, yet perfectly seamless and velvety wine. The finish will be accompanied by notes of graphite, brown bread, espresso and pepper. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"This big wine offers an aroma of braised chocolate prunes, as well as notes of brick dust, cassis, espresso and rust powder. Extremely tannic and very heady, with layers of overripe fruit on the finish. You'll notice the black truffle notes that increase its concentration, but this wine still manages to maintain a superb sense of freshness. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drink now through to 2025.<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Another monstrous wine! Notes of chestnuts, figs, bitter cocoa, incense and sausage flavor. A vintage that is racy, very structured and leaves notes of hoisin sauce and charcoal. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2662 Clos Des Papes<\/strong> 2010\"Clos<\/h2>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Lots of cocoa powder and coffee, black plums, cassis and figs, and concentrated tannins from start to finish. Notes of anise and Lapsang Souchong (Chinese black tea) are present in the background. The finish is dominated by charcoal adherence, but purity always keeps the upper hand. A very, very great wine. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2662 Clos Des Papes<\/strong> 2005<\/h2>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"This is a very tight wine, with notes of figs, cassis, espresso, licorice and hints of chocolate. Super fleshy, but seriously structured, we find layer after layer of sweet spice, fruitiness and minerality through the finish. Deep and powerful. This wine should develop as well as its 1990 sibling. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drink now, until 2030.<\/p>\n

\u2662 Domaine Giraud<\/strong> \u00a0\"Les Grenaches de Pierre\" 2010<\/h2>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"A very sexy wine, in a modern style, with notes of boysenberry, plum paste, anise and charcoal, brooding over tobacco and licorice root notes. The structure is rich, yet graceful and well-integrated. Graphite underpins the finish, while acidity flows seamlessly. A fruity wine with sublime character. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be enjoyed until 2030.<\/p>\n

98\/100 Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Superb terroir that gives birth to this extraordinary wine. The minerals in this wine will make you discover the terroir. Notes of pencils, plums, leather and a hint of wood. But most of all, there are pleasant notes of red and black fruit, presented in a thick, smooth-textured wine with a seamless finish. Simply incredible, a meal in itself. \"\u00a0<\/p>\n
