Silky and elegant, wearing its sweet fruit and floral notes with style and grace. Firmly structured, but all the components are in the right.

Shows striking intensity, density, focus and layers of flavor, with tiers of mocha, blackberry, mineral, black licorice and melted chocolate. The finish sails on, retaining focus and persistence.

Remember when all Châteauneufs were priced like this? Now this is entry-level pricing, yet the wine is very good, delivering a complex, harmonious blend of leather, earth, spice and plum notes. It’s soft enough to drink now and over the next few years.

This is silky and elegant, wearing its sweet fruit and floral notes with style and grace. Firmly structured, but all the components are in the right proportion, with fine length. This just needs time. Best from 2014 through 2025.

This is pure and focused, exhibiting black currant, cherry, violet, mineral and spice flavors married to a firm, vibrant structure. The black currant and violet notes hold true on the finish, as this does not want to quit. Best from 2014 through 2028.—B.S.
