  Dunkles Rubingranat, zarte ockerfarbene Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig-nussig unterlegte dunkle Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Pflaumen, etwas Lakritze, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, komplex, frisch strukturiert, zart animalischer Anklang von Mourvèdre, schokoladige Note, elegant und anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial, stets einer der preiswertesten Weine in dieser Klasse."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée is full-bodied but quite approachable and easy to drink, loaded with black cherries and plummy fruit and tinged with licorice. A blend of 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 10% other permitted varieties, it finishes long and silky."

  Not yet bottled, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée continues to show beautifully and is a soft, charming example of this cuvée that’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate. Loads of blackcurrants, peppery herbs, bloody meat, and violet notes emerge from the glass and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It reminds me of an improved 2014, and despite its upfront appeal, it’s going to evolve nicely for 15 years or more. This estate has a long track record of off vintages aging and drinking beautifully far longer than anyone would predict, and I’m sure the same will be the case with the 2018."

  80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, plus Cinsault, Terret Noir, Picardan, Muscardin, Bourboulenc, Picpoul Noir, Vaccarèse, Roussanne, Counoise, Clairette. Aged for 24 months in old oak. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Well-defined red fruit on the nose, typically Grenache, with concentration and heft on the palate. Smooth and balanced but there is some farmyard aroma slipping in on the finish, which I wouldn't want to become any more obvious.
