From the outstanding 2005 vintage and scoring 91/100 parker points, "More ripe and decadent, the 2005 Vacqueyras Le Clos offers lots of blackcurrants, smoked meats, black licorice and assorted meatiness to go with a full-bodied, layered and hedonistic style on the palate. This borders on overripe, but has a great texture and cleans up nicely on the finish. Made from equal parts Grenache and Syrah, it’s best consumed over the coming couple of years." Drink now - 2027.

From the outstanding 1999 vintage and scoring 88-89/100 parker points, "The 1999 Vacqueyras looks to be a star in the making, with a dense ruby/purple color as well as excellent blackberry, cherry, smoke, mineral, and earthy notes. Medium to full-bodied, with good underlying, refreshing acidity, a roasted, meaty taste in its mid-section, and a slightly tannic finish, look for this wine to drink well young, yet age for a decade."

From the outstanding 2016 vintage and scoring 91-93/100 Parker points, "the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine is the most flattering young version of this cuvée I can recall tasting. Loaded with black cherry fruit, it's full-bodied, rich and velvety yet not overdone, showing subtle dried spice notes and a long, fresh finish. It should drink well for a decade." Drink now - 2028.

From the outstanding 2010 vintage and scoring 93+/100 Parker points, "More backwards and concentrated, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape has rocking mid-palate depth and length on the palate. Giving up ample dark fruit, kirsch, pepper, leather and big minerality, this beauty will see its 15th birthday in fine form." Drink now - 2029.

From the outstanding 2015 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points, A stunning entry-level effort, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape from Mas de Boislauzon is full-bodied, richly textured and plush.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points, 'I'd wager one of the finest examples of this cuvee ever made (the 2009 and 2010 will give it run for its money), the sensational 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Origines from the Jaume family is a perfect example of a modern styled Chateauneuf du Pape that never loses its Southern Rhone soul. Made from 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah that was aged in equal parts barrels and tanks, it offers a ripe, pedal-to-the-metal bouquet of ripe black fruits, charred meats, pan drippings, saddle leather and garrigue that continues to open up with time in the glass. On the palate, it's full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and layered, with sweet, sweet tannin and a great finish. This closed down shortly after release but is just now staring to show its true potential. Drink bottles anytime over the coming decade.." Drink now - 2027.

From the good 1994 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points,"The 1994 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet exhibits copious amounts of smoky underbrush, garrigue, olive, peppery aromas, along with attractive roasted meat characteristics. Full-bodied, with layers of jammy fruit, high glycerin, and a blockbuster finish, this is a rich, youthful, broad-shouldered Chateauneuf du Pape." Drink now - 2025.

From the very good 2011 vintage, this red wine scores 95/100 Parker points and "Coming from a cooler, sandy terroir in the northeastern part of the appellation, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin (which comes 80% from the Chaupoin lieu-dit and 20% from the La Janasse lieu-dit, hence the subtle name change) is 100% Grenache, from vines planted in 1912, that’s aged two-thirds in foudre and one-third in demi-muid. Gorgeous all around, with plenty of similarities to the traditional cuvee, yet slightly richer and fuller, it delivers beautiful mulled red and black fruits, licorice, spice and tinges of stony minerality on the nose. Full-bodied, supple, seamless and elegant, with fine tannin, it makes the most of a difficult vintage and is certainly one of the top 10-12 wines." Drink now - 2026.

From the outstanding 2003 vintage and scoring 92+/100 Parker points, "The 2003 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out well.

It is a dense ruby/purple color, with plenty of garrigue, lavender, black currant, black cherry, sandy, loamy soil notes along with underbrush. A quintessential wine of Provence - full-bodied, powerful, yet at the same time, elegant and very complex - it can be drunk over the next 15+ years." Drink now - 2028.

From the very good 2009 vintage, this red wine scores 94/100 Parker points "A smoking effort that's overflowing with Provencal charm is the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape la Crau de la Mere. A full-bodied, big, sexy effort, it has classic and sunny notes of roasted herbs, licorice, exotic spices and sweet red and black fruits. Luxuriously textured, concentrated and layered, it avoids any of the rusticity that can be found in the vintage and delivers nothing but classic Chateauneuf du Pape character. It can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade." Drink now - 2027.

From the very good 2012 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker Points, "the 2012 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes is a stunning effort that exhibits blockbuster notes of toasted spice, leather, peppery herbs and sweet black and blue fruit. Seeing 16 months in 60% new French oak, it's a powerful, concentrated and full-bodied effort that has lots of tannin, but more than enough fruit to handle it. Like the Les Bessards, shorter-term cellaring is advised here and it will have over two decades of longevity." Drink now - 2034.
