***GET THEM WHILE STOCKS LAST***
Managed to get our hands on two special Châteauneuf du Papes for a bargain! Read below 👇
• 2010 Domaine des Senechaux £42.95
Robert Parker 95pts 👇
“Made from an identical blend, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape is a hedonistic Chateauneuf du Pape fruit bomb. Super-rich with layers of glycerin and fruit, this full-bodied classic smells like a Provencal open-air fruit and vegetable market. Loaded with slightly blacker fruits than its 2011 counterpart, there are also hints of charcuterie, spice box, cedar and Christmas fruitcake in this full-throttle, rich, concentrated wine. Drink it over the next 12-15+ years.“
Jancis Robinson 16.5 👇
Yet another wine with a Pauillac connection: the southern Rhône property of the Cazes family. This wine’s Syrah ingredient is raised in Ch Lynch Bages barrels (perhaps those that had that delicious Ch Lynch Bages 2009 in them?). Lovely, round and spicy. Good balance. Fresh finish. Great stuff and GV [good value].
• 2010 Domaine Roger Sabon Prestige £51.95
Robert Parker 96pts 👇
“An absolutely profound offering, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige requires 5-6 years of cellaring given its massive concentration and tannic structure. The wine was relatively closed the day I tasted it, but it did display an inky/purple color along with hints of camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, kirsch, licorice and espresso beans. Full-bodied and moderately tannic with gorgeous freshness, glycerin and a skyscraper-like texture, this superb cuvee should be at its finest between 2018-2030+.”
Wine Spectator 95pts 👇
“This has power and guile, with dense layers of blackberry, Black Mission fig and black currant fruit lined with substantial but velvety tannins. The long, spice- and black tea-infused finish has a good bass line in the background. Best from 2017 through 2030”
