Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2013 Collection Charles Giraud - St Prefert

Isabel Ferrando

96/100 Wine Spectator

Cellaring: Now to 2030.

Tasted by James Molesworth in 2015: "Shows impressive depth and range for the vintage, with layered flavors of soaked fig, crushed plum and warm raspberry jam forming the core, underpinned by notes of Turkish coffee, licorice root and toasted alder. The finish is long and authoritative, presenting a bewitching scent of shiso leaf at the very end. A superb effort. Best from 2018 to 2030." - JM
