Decanter (94 points):
"This is a brilliant producer, an Italian family in the Rhône since the 1940s. This particular vintage is barely getting going, but it was layered, textured, welcoming and delicious, full of cinnamon and white pepper spice, with layers of sage and rosemary against abundant cassis and blackberry fruits. Half of the vines in the vineyard here are more than 65 years old. 5% Mourvedre completes the blend. 40% whole bunch fermentation. A yield of 30hl/ha."

Wine Enthusiast (94 points):
"While voluptuous in body, this rich, densely fruity red offers luscious black-plum and dried strawberry flavors offset by a mineral freshness and subtle notes of porcini mushroom and crushed earth. An enveloping wine, it's seductive already and likely to gain complexity through 2030."

Jeb Dunnuck (93 points):
"The classic 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at around 75% Grenache, 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and a splash of Cinsault. This rock star traditional cuvée gives up loads of black licorice, garrigue, black raspberries, and kirsch liqueur. It's powerful and full-bodied, yet elegant and seamless, with fine tannin, no hard edges, and a great finish. Despite the richness and weight, it stays weightless and elegant, with silky tannin. Don't miss it."
