Awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator: "A juicy, racy version, featuring a coiled core of red liquorice, linzer torte and red currant preserves, backed by singed apple wood and tobacco notes, with a stony undercurrent on the finish. Should stretch out after modest cellaring."
Awarded 91 points by The Wine Advocate: "The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape (90% Grenache and 10% Syrah) offers loads of strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with Christmas fruitcake, incense, roasted herb and spice box notes. This medium to full-bodied, luscious 2011 is ideal for drinking over the next 7-10 years. "
Superb accompaniment to roasts and mature cheeses.
