Robert Parker (97)

After gushing over this wine as a barrel sample when I tasted it blind prior to release, perhaps it was inevitable that a few years later the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire didn't quite live up to my original lofty expectations (98 - 100). Still youthful in hue, with no bricking, it's floral and spice-driven on the nose, with almost Campari-like notes, plus cherries and raspberries. Full-bodied, silky, long and remarkably complex, it's still a beautiful wine to drink over the next decade or so.

James Suckling (96)

A seductive style, with supple-edged sandalwood, rooibos tea, mulled raspberry and plum notes all melded together atop a very silky but persistent structure. Sneakily long, with a latent tarry echo and whiff of garrigue on the finish. Grenache and Mourvèdre.
