Robert Parker (94)

Now that it is in bottle, Pegau's 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo reveals itself as a rich, honeyed offering. Framed by tight, structural oak, this equal-parts blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne boasts scents of ripe peaches and melons, accented by hints of caramelized pineapple, cedar shavings and toasted hazelnuts. It's full-bodied, broad and generous on the palate, yet somehow the finish comes across as refined, with enough citrus to provide length and focus. I'm a bit more suspect of its longevity than I was last year, but it should provide decadent drinking for at least the next several years.

James Suckling (94)

Juicy, offering chamomile, white peach, quinine, lemon curd and shortbread notes, all laced with a verbena thread on the rich and focused finish. Shows terrific range and energy. Drinkable now, but should broaden out with a touch of cellaring. Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne.
