"Deep ruby. Hugely aromatic red and dark berry, potpourri and floral scents are underscored by smoky minerality and an exotic suggestion of Asian spices. Sappy, focused and impressively deep yet lively, offering alluringly sweet raspberry, cherry compote and spicecake flavors and a refreshingly bitter touch of blood orange. Puts on weight and spreads out steadily with air, acquiring a succulent herb note that carries through the strikingly long, mineral-laced, gently tannic finish. This beauty is shaping up to be among the standouts of this extremely successful vintage." —Josh Raynolds

"The quintessential expression of the Burgundian style that Paul-Vincent Avril strives to achieve at this estate, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Clos des Papes is immediately attractive and approachable, wafting from the glass with an entrancing bouquet of rose, lilac, spices and a Pinot-like delicacy that sets it apart from its peers. Medium- to full-bodied, round and juicy, it's open and silky, with a pure, ethereal core of fruit and a long, seamless finish of remarkable refinement." —Yohan Castaing

"Redcurrant, black pepper, fine tannin and subtle spice. Delicate and balanced and quite restrained overall – yet there is a long, deep, persistent finish that has plenty of potential. Resonant and graceful."

Wine Spectator

"This offers a drop-dead gorgeous core of cassis and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors that hold center stage but still allow notes of Lapsang souchong tea, anise, incense and shiso leaf to chime in. Very long, with a sublime feel through the mineral-tinged finish. So seductive already, but this should cruise in the cellar. Drink now through 2040."
