Its dense purple color is followed by notes of pen ink, incense, camphor, graphite and loads of blackberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, rich, sexy and open-knit, this unfiltered, dense red will have many admirers." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker Points, "As for the equally deep ruby/purple-colored 2007 Seguret Grande Reserve, this wine has much more licorice and more depth and body, but displays a similar aromatic and flavor profile. It is broad, expansive, and voluptuously textured, with stunning depth and richness. This is about as good as Seguret can be and actually competes with wines that are much more costly. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.." Drink now - 2033.

From the outstanding 2005 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker points, "While the Vieilles Vignes bottling wasn’t made until 2006, the 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Origines goes all the way back to 1998. The 2005 checks in as a blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah that saw 16 months in 55% concrete tank and 45% in smaller barrels. It’s a ripe, full-throttle effort that gives up lots of roasted herbs, pan drippings, black licorice and darker fruits on the nose. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, blockbuster styled effort that has beautiful purity, lots of texture and a sexy, hard-to-resist style. It freshens up in the glass, and while drinking nicely now, will have no problems evolving gracefully for another decade." Drink now - 2034.

From the outstanding 2015 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "As usual, the 2015 Cotes du Rhone features a majority of Syrah, largely sourced from the western side of the Rhône. Spicy, peppery, hickory aromas lead off, adding berries up front and then moving into darker fruit and more savory notes of black olive by the finish. This medium to full-bodied wine finishes long and silky, avoiding any of the vintage's hard tannins, while still boasting the concentration" Drink now - 2034.

From the outstanding 2006 vintage and scoring 89/100 Parker points, "Showing some clear evolution right out of the gate, the 2006 Gigondas Ventabren (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault aged in barrel) continued to freshen up with time in the glass, offering some old school notes of cedary spice, macerated black cherries, green olives and garrigue. Medium-bodied, supple, and silky, it’s completely resolved and will need drinking sooner rather than later. Nevertheless, it offers a classic, mature Gigondas drinking experience.. Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points, "A superstar of the appellation, is the 2007 Gigondas Domaine La Rubine. A blend of 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, it exhibits an inky/blue/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of acacia flowers intermixed with blueberries, dark raspberries, black cherries, and a hint of plums. The wine hits the palate with full-bodied power, gorgeous density, the vintage’s freshness and acids, and an impressive razor-like precision. There is enough tannin and extract that the wine will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2006 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points, "Mint, cassis, currants, leafy green herbs, spice and funky earth all emerge from the glass of this medium-bodied, elegant Gigondas that shows the more wild, feral side of the appellation. Like all of these cuvees, it's from tiny yields (26 hectoliters per hectare) and is 70% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 14% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre, aged all in foudre. Drink now - 2035.

From the outstanding 1998 vintage, this red wine scores 90/100 Parker points and "The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape is one of the finest La Roquettes I have ever tasted. It boasts a dense dark ruby/purple color, as well as a powerful bouquet of black cherry jam, kirsch liqueur, pepper, and Provencal spices, abundant glycerin, low acidity, and a fleshy, full-bodied finish. Tannin and structure are present, but they play second fiddle to the forward fruit, glycerin, and power." Drink now - 2034.

From the outstanding 1998 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker points, "Between '78 and '07, this 1998 is the greatest Vieux Telegraphe that was produced. It has taken a good decade for this wine to shed its tannins and come out of a dormant, closed period. It has finally emerged, and notes of iodine, seaweed, black currants, incense, and sweet cherries as well as hot rocks jump from the glass of this full-bodied, powerful wine. It possesses considerable elegance and purity, along with loads of raspberries and incense, in a round, juicy, rich style that is just emerging from the closet. The wine is still youthful and a pre-adolescent in terms of its ultimate evolution. Approachable now, it will continue to evolve for another 15-20 years. Bravo!" Drink now - 2035.

From the outstanding 2003 vintage and scoring 92+/100 Parker points, "The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape turned out as well as I could have hoped and is certainly an outstanding wine, deep ruby/purple with a tight but promising nose of black fruits, loamy, earthy notes intermixed with pepper, smoke, licorice, and dried herbs. The wine is somewhat closed in the mouth (but it had been bottled 30 days prior to my visit), has full bodied, moderately high, slightly rustic tannins, but big-impact flavors with plenty of texture, density, and purity. Give this wine 3-5 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 20 years." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2011 vintage, this red wine scores 92/100 Parker points,"The 2011 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau Cuvee Marc comes from an up-and-coming appellation that should be regarded with increasing interest by Rhone wine lovers. This blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 25% Syrah was aged in demi-muids for 11 months, and bottled unfiltered. Spectacularly rich and ripe, it could easily pass for a 2010 or 2007 in a blind tasting. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of espresso roast, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, incense and violets. Medium to full-bodied, unctuously textured, thick and juicy, this loaded Rasteau should drink well for a decade or more." Drink now - 2033.

Big, voluptuous, concentrated and full-bodied, it's still young and unevolved, and will have more than two decades of overall longevity." Drink now - 2038.

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."
