From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, 'I’ve always loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Paul Versino, and it has drunk well since release. Full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling, with some still-present tannin, it has a core of sweet, ripe cherry fruit, licorice, sweaty saddle leather and garrigue. At the end of the day, I think the tannin will win the battle with the fruit, but this beauty has loads of Provencal charm and will continue drinking nicely for 4-5 years, if not longer."

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "I find the 2007 vintage to be one of the most distinctive vintages in the past two decades, and Cristia's 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has the classic incense, lavender, flowers and spice characteristics of the vintage in spades. Full-bodied, decadent, layered and sexy, it's one seriously hedonistic wine that has no hard edges, a full, ripe mid-palate and a great finish." Drink now - 2031.

Scoring 90/100 Parker points and from the good 1986 vintage, "The deep plum/garnet-colored 1986 is slightly less concentrated and less alcoholic than the 1985, but it is still perfumed, rich, and intense. Fully mature, this fleshy, corpulent wine is a noteworthy success". Drink now - 2030.

From the outstanding 2005 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points,"More modern in style than the classic cuvee, yet also more youthful and lively, the 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Sixtine (50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre) is a beauty! Exhibiting plenty of sweet oak in its ripe black fruits, spice, licorice and roasted meat bouquet, it’s full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with at least another decade of prime drinking."

From the outstanding 2010 vintage and scoring 93-95/100 Parker points,"In need of 4-5 years of cellaring, the infantile 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Sixtine is a behemoth. Made from a blend similar to the 2009's, the 2010 exhibits an opaque purple color in addition to a beautiful nose of melted licorice, blackberries, cassis, smoky barbecue embers, underbrush and soil overtones. Rich and full-bodied with a multilayered mouthfeel, this impressive, pure, well-built Chateauneuf will require patience.... The 2010s may be one of the finest vintages the Diffonty family has yet made." Drink now - 2035.

From the outstanding 2005 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "Looking first at the classic 2005 Gigondas, it has a beautiful core of fruit to go with textbook Saint Cosme tar, licorice and toasted spice. Made from 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre that saw no destemming (this estate never destems) and in older tanks and concrete, it’s aging beautifully, has medium to full-bodied richness, a great mid-palate and enough chewy tannin on the finish to keep it going strong for another decade."

From the outstanding 2000 vintage and scoring 94/100 Parker points,"The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz is beautiful as well, with complex garrigue, spiced meats, bouquet garni and pepper emerging from the glass. It has a full-bodied, open, sexy and yet concentrated feel on the palate, and I love its overall purity of fruit. While it’s more evolved than the 2001, it should cruise for another couple of years, although certainly, there is no reason to hold off." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2005 vintage, this stunning wine scores 89/100 Parker points and "The 2005 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Terre d’Argile is a beauty. Dark ruby/purple with notes of roasted meats, spice box, tobacco leaf, licorice, and red and black fruits, it is dense, chewy, has some tannins to resolve, but is quite a mouthful of wine that should age nicely for 5-8 years."

From the outstanding 2017 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "With slightly more pronounced tannins than most vintages, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape should be set aside for a year or two and then consumed over the following decade.

From the outstanding 2001 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points, "The sensational 2001 Vacqueyras Cuvee Lopy is a candidate for this appellation’s wine of the vintage. A tour de force in winemaking, this inky/purple-colored 2001 stood out in my blind tasting as the most concentrated and complex. Powerful and rich, with layers of concentration, and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this huge, spectacular Vacqueyras is impeccably well-balanced. The acidity should ensure even greater fragrance as the wine matures, but for readers who are fortunate enough to latch on to a few bottles, it requires 1-3 years of cellaring" Drink now - 2033.

From the outstanding 2001 vintage and scoring 94+/100 Parker Points, "Also classic in style, yet still structured and lively, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin started out tight and reserved, yet opened up beautifully in the glass to show complex crushed flowers, white pepper, garrigue and kirsch. Like the traditional cuvee, it has plenty of grip and structure" Drink now - 2033.
