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 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." Drink now - 2033. A lovely gift.

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 2009 vintage and scoring 91/100 points by Gilbert & Gaillard "Young red. Pleasant, expressive nose showing abundant freshness and intermixing floral, fruity and spicy notes.

From the good 2012 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker Points, "A blend of 50% tank-aged Grenache and 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre aged in barrel, the 2012 Cotes du Ventoux Fayard (which was the only 2012 I tasted out of bottle) is a gorgeous effort that gives up impressive notes of black raspberry, flowers, violets and pepper. Perfumed, complex and with the hallmark purity of the fruit that all of this estate’s wines show, this medium-bodied, elegant and lively effort has good acidity and a clean finish."

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. It offers fresh, vibrant blackberry and blueberry flavors, a full-bodied, velvety-textured palate and a long, tannic finish tinged with orange zest." Drink now - 2033.

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 2010 vintage and scoring 97/100 Parker points, Performing considerably better than it did prior to bottling, the 2010 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape is one of the all-time great Vieux Telegraphes I have tasted in the last 3+ decades. I believe it is even superior to the 2007, which I had several weeks ago. The 2010 boasts a dense purple color along with a sumptuous bouquet of spring flowers, boysenberries, black cherries, black currants, nori (the sushi seaweed wrapper), black olives, licorice and pepper. This full-bodied, meaty, thick, juicy effort possesses a boatload of tannin, but it also has incredible concentration. More massive than I remember from last year, it has put on considerable weight and intensity. Forget it for 3-4 years, and drink it over the following 25-30 years. Kudos to Daniel and Frederic Brunier! " Drink now - 2043.
