Wine Spectator (94 points):
"Alluring and very ripe, this oozes sweet melted licorice and wild cherry underscored with grilled applewood, warm earth and brown bread. Savory leafy edge and salty minerals fill in, with red tea and polished tannins maintaining solid framework. Lush and broad with real intrigue. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, Vaccarèse and Muscardin. Drink now through 2036."
Galloni (94 points):
"The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is magnificent, bursting from the glass with prominent licorice, ripe red fruits, rosewater and garrigue. Totally alluring yet super-serious, the distinct 2022 is a full-throttle Clos Saint-Jean, packing elevated flavor concentration without going overboard. A floral orange blossom lift accompanies the long and complex finish. Outstanding."
