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.

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.

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 2009 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "While most of La Bouissiere’s holdings are in Gigondas, they also have 6.5 acres in Vacqueyras.

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.

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.

From the outstanding 2003 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker points, "A spectacular offering, and one of the Southern Rhone’s top successes in the irregular 2003 vintage is Soumade’s 2003 Fleur de Confiance Rasteau. This blockbuster wine boasts notes of plum liqueur, blueberries, blackberries, figs, scorched earth, espresso, and flowers. Tipping the scales at 16+% alcohol, it is almost surreal in its richness and power. Romero believes it will last for two decades or more, but I would recommend drinking it over the next 14-15 years. This amazing cuvee is one of the finest Southern Rhone wines I have ever tasted outside Chateauneuf du Pape." Drink now - 2034.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage, and scoring 95/100 Parker points,"This cuvée is only bottled in top vintages. Since there is no 2016, and it's undecided if the 2017 will be bottled separately,Laure Colombo graciously opened the 2007 Cornas Vallon de l'Aigle, the very first vintage bottled. This full-bodied beauty is meaty, savory and rich, marked by ripe, plummy fruit and mocha shadings, while the finish is velvety and long, loaded with umami and spice." Drink now - 2032.

Scoring 92/100 Parker points and from the good 1996 vintage, "The 1996 Hermitage La Chapelle is immensely impressive. The acidity is high. The color is black/purple, and the wine is extremely concentrated, but unevolved and impossible to penetrate. It could turn out like the '83 and never develop as well as its early promise suggests. Nevertheless, it is a massive effort with extraordinary concentration" Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 1998 vintage and scoring 100/100 Parker points "I've been lucky enough to have the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin numerous times recently and it has never failed to deliver everything I could want from a wine. Getting the best parcel of Grenache from the estate and a dramatically shifted blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and the rest Syrah and Counoise, it's a massive and concentrated Chateauneuf that surprisingly still seems to show its Mourvedre component front and center. Blackberries, kirsch, truffle, gamy meats, licorice and earth all give way to a full-bodied, seamless, impeccably balanced wine that carries its huge core of fruit with remarkable freshness and grace. While it will no doubt continue to evolve gracefully, it's brilliant today." Drink now - 2035.
