WA 95 (2/2006): The 2003 Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape has gone from strength to strength and now looks to be the finest vintage since the monumental 1995. Deep ruby to the rim with that classic Rayas nose of flowers, kirsch liqueur, black raspberries, crushed rocks, and minerals, the wine is dense and concentrated, with a broad, savory mouthfeel, sweet yet silky tannin, fabulous persistence, and a blockbuster finish that just goes on and on. This is a reassuringly profound Rayas that seems to suggest that Emmanuel Reynaud has finally figured out this cold-climate terroir in a warm climate appellation. This wine should be given 3-4 years of bottle age, and drunk over the following 20+ years.
JD 94 (3/2011): Silky and perfumed as well as not showing any of the over-ripeness of the vintage, the 2003 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve possesses beautiful aromatics of kirsch, black tea, garrigue, and green peppercorn that are wrapped around loads of sweet Grenache fruit. Perhaps less intense than other top vintages of this wine, it still shows the telltale Rayas aromatic profile. Medium to full bodied on the palate, the wine is stunningly textured, well balanced and fresh, firming up nicely on the finish with subtle tannin and good energy. Drinking well now, I see nothing that would keep this from continuing to deliver over the next 10 to 15 years.
WS 93 (6/2006): Lovely perfume, with tightly woven red and black cherry, graphite, incense, mineral and sous bois notes that stay fresh and focused thanks to finely imbedded acidity. Stylish finish. Drink now through 2025. 1,500 cases made. |

JD 97 (3/2011): A gorgeous wine in every sense, 2001 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape - a blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% Vaccarèse, Counoise, and Muscardin that’s aged for 15 months in old foudres (no new oak is used) – possesses an incredibly complex bouquet of kirsch, black tea, flowers, and licorice like aromas. It opens up beautifully in the glass, showing a seamless, elegant profile, a spectacularly good texture, perfect balance, and a long, silky finish. While this seems to have plenty of life left, I don’t see any reason to hold off as this was a pure joy to drink.
WA 95 (5/2022): While the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape shows some bricking at the rim and scents of leather, pepper and soy sauce on first opening, be patient with it. With a bit of time in the glass, it blossoms, transforming into a swirl of pressed flowers and ripe cherries. Full-bodied, rich and still packed with potential at age 20, it finishes silky and long, with echoes of licorice and spice. At least based on this bottle, prospective drinkers will want to consider decanting an hour or so in advance.
WS 94 (2/2012): This has hit its second phase with beautiful definition, showing hints of Lapsang souchong tea, roasted apple wood and juniper, joined by singed bay leaf, mulled blackberry and black currant fruit and a long, spice box–infused finish. As graceful and restrained as this is, it still has the reserve tank and balance for extended aging. Drink now through 2022. 9,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
VM 93 (9/2004): Good full red. Complex, vibrant nose melds raspberry, blood orange, duck confit, tree bark and toasted hazelnut. Dense, sappy and penetrating, with superb inner-mouth energy. Very spicy, sharply delineated wine with an almost Burgundian texture. Finishes with building, sweet flavors of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, a saline suggestion of extract, and terrific persistence. This wine clearly benefitted from the high quality of mourvedre in 2001. Stephen Tanzer. |

Chateauneuf du Pape |
$199 |

WA 100 (2/2017): One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it's just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity.
WS 97 (10/2009): (WS #42 Wine of 2009) Absolutely stunning, with a deep well of crème de cassis that's thoroughly pure and captivating, while black tea, fig cake, hoisin sauce, incense and graphite notes weave throughout. The supervelvety finish lets blackberry, boysenberry and crushed cherry fruit take an encore—as if this needed any more fruit. A fantastic display of precision in a very opulent year. Best from 2010 through 2030. 8,000 cases made.
JLL ***** (11/2008): Full, dark red - the robe mixes some black with a slight purple rim. On the nose, there are blackberry (Grenache) with licorice (Mourvèdre) influences - and a silken raspberry aroma that has a lot of poise and is very suave. The palate has a rich, full, veering towards dense start, and comes with traces of chocolate in the flavour, alongside a cherry note. It is wide and well-juiced, ending on a final quarter of steady tannic growth. This is more structured than many 2007s at present - I like its fresh end and good length. The power shows up through some kirsch in the late taste. All very orderly, good prospects. From 2013.
VM 95+ (2/2010): Deep ruby. Powerful, pungent aromas of kirsch, dark berries, smoky herbs and spicecake, with notes of black olive and tobacco coming on with air. Chewy, palate-staining dark fruit flavors are complicated by bitter chocolate, licorice and black cardamom. Acts like a 2005 today, with serious structure but also superb depth of powerful, densely packed fruit. A hint of cherry skin adds grip and refreshing bitterness to the long, smoky, focused finish. Not an easy read right now: this demands cellaring. |

Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina |
$195 |

|
| |
JD 99 (9/2008): Clos St. Jean's 2003 Deus-Ex Machina hits all of my sweet spots and is reminiscent of the 2001 Mordoree with its thickness, unreal concentration and ripeness. The nose is massive with ripe blackberry, plum, licorice and meaty aromas that are about as good as it gets. The palate is full bodied, thick and unbelievably concentrated with a fantastic texture, huge underlying structure and amazing extract. This shows masses of ripe, mouth coating tannins on the long, long finish. Not traditional; not subtle; absolutely fantastic!
WA 95+ (2/2006): The richest and most structured wine, and also the deepest in color (a dark purple) is the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina. They should have called it “the sex machine." An explosive nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, melted licorice, smoke and resiny notes is followed by a broad, expansive, full-bodied wine with moderate tannin, massive fruit, and a huge finish that lasts for almost 40+ seconds. This is stunning wine that can be drunk early on or cellared for up to 15 or more years.
VM 93 (12/2008): Deep ruby. Very rich nose displays powerful cherry, cassis and blueberry aromas. Really showing the fruit today, with deep dark fruit compote flavors and a suggestion of spicecake. The finish really hangs in there. This is still a baby but possesses serious depth and potential. I called this 92(+?) on release.
WS 92 (11/2005): Dense, modern style, with lots of cocoa and toast covering the black currant, mineral and tar flavors. Thick, almost loamy finish will need some cellaring, but there's superb concentration and depth here. Best from 2006 through 2020. 200 cases imported. |

Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige |
$79 |

|
| |
WA 92 (2/2003): The Cuvee Prestige is full-bodied, sexy, concentrated, and loaded with the essence of Provence. The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige smells like liqueur of black pepper intermixed with lavender, game, and black fruits. It tastes so much like Provence that one almost expects some of their famous miniature figurines (santons) to jump out of the glass. Ripe, layered, and spicy, with soaring aromatics, this fleshy, chewy 2000 is undoubtedly hiding some serious tannin. Anticipated maturity: now-2016.
VM 88 (2/2003): Medium-deep color. Superripe aromas of plum, redcurrant, chocolate and spice cake, with a faint raisiny character. Sweet, open, easygoing and showy; quintessential ripe Chateauneuf texture and flavors. Complicating note of sweet herbs. Finishes with sweet tannins and moderate grip. I would have scored this wine even higher but for a slight suggestion of imperfect wood. |

| VM 93 (1/2007): Deep ruby. Lush raspberry and cherry preserves on the nose, with hints of candied plum, espresso, flowers and dark chocolate. An impressively rich Chateauneuf, with powerful dark fruit flavors perked up by refreshing mineral lift on the back and nicely supported by supple tannins. Rich and chewy on the finish, with lingering notes of smoke, meat and cherry liqueur. Serious stuff, and in need of cellaring. Josh Raynolds. |

| |
| WA 95+ (2/2006): The outrageously rich, full-bodied 2003 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places boasts an inky/purple color as well as a rich, sumptuous nose of creosote, camphor, blackberries, minerals, acacia flowers, and pain grille. A wine of enormous richness, generosity, and complexity, it should age effortlessly for 15 or more years. |

| WA 96 (1/2003): The blockbuster 1990 is just now approaching full maturity. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of prunes, kirsch liqueur, balsam wood, incense, and fruitcake. Full-bodied, with a viscous texture, and a long, concentrated finish exhibiting admirable purity and balance, it can be drunk now and over the next 17-18 years. |

Hermitage La Chapelle |
$179 |
1 |
|
| |
WS 96 (2/2006): Deceptively graceful at first, with a Burgundian-like perfume, this quickly delivers a torrent of fruit--blackberry, boysenberry and black currant--that cascades over itself, pushed from behind by flavors of mocha, mineral, tar and violets. Long, sweet and pure through a densely structured finish. Best from 2008 through 2030. 4,000 cases made.
WA 95+ (2/2006): The finest example of this cuvee since 1990, the 2003 Hermitage La Chapelle (50,000 bottles rather than the normal 96,000+ were produced) possesses an inky/purple color as well as a tremendous bouquet of creme de cassis, crushed flowers, truffles, and licorice. Full-bodied and powerful (15% natural alcohol) with good freshness and definition, this big, rich, dense, reassuringly great La Chapelle should be cellared for 5-8 years, and drunk over the following 20-25.
VM 92 (2/2006): Deep, saturated ruby. Intensely spicy aromas of blackberry, bitter cherry, tobacco and minerals, with a complicating note of black pepper that became more pronounced with air. This is quite fresh and lively for the vintage, showing tangy red and dark berry flavors and a solid, chewy texture. Finishes with considerable finesse.
JLL *** (2/2006): Dark robe; some soaked fruit aroma, is bound together, has floral traces, smoky. "Elegant", simmered red fruit berry flavour, as if tannins tamed in the cellar. Degree of tannin at the end, which is ripe and pretty soft. Length OK.
NM 85-87 (3/2006): As someone spellbound by the legendary 1978 just a few months ago, this makes the weaknesses of this 2003 all the more apparent. Lifeless nose: touch of stewed prune and liquorices. The palate has some peppery black fruits, a touch of plum, but surprisingly light tannins and bugger all persistency. Perhaps this was a bad bottle? Too alcoholic for me. |

| Tardieu-Laurent |
1999 |
Hermitage Slightly Depressed Cork; Torn Label |
$119 |
1 |
|
| |
VM 92-95 (1/2001): Purple-ruby. Knockout aromas of blackberry, cassis, mocha, pungent spices, violet, minerals, licorice and mocha. Great volume and sweetness in the mouth; large-scaled, dense and spicy, and sweetened by the oak. Finishes with great sweetness and length; the huge but lush tannins coat the entire mouth. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 95-98 (4/2002): While the 2000 Tardieu-Laurent offerings are excellent for the vintage, they are significantly less concentrated and textured compared to the awesome 1999s. The 1999s which were given fabulous ratings from barrel, were not tasted from bottle. However, given part experience with bottled Tardieu-Laurent wines, they are undoutedly as good as I predicted from cask. They are not racked until bottling, produced with minimal levels of SO2, and bottled with neither fining nor filtration. |
