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 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "Lots of big, dark fruit and a lack of water in the grapes define the unique personality of the 2017 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia. This is a highly extracted and succulent expression that delivers abundant fruit sweetness. The key to this vintage was waiting for proper ripeness, says estate manager and winemaker Axel Heinz. "The grapes continued to get smaller throughout the summer," he says. That lack of water resulted in very concentrated fruit, giving this entry-level wine a rich and modern feel as a result."

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, "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 very good 2009 vintage, this Chateauneuf du Pape scores 90/100 Parker Points "Mont Redon's lovely 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is beginning to show signs of maturity. Aromas of leather, cocoa, black cherries and tapenade set the scene, while the full-bodied palate is still silky and lush, with a salty edge to the finish. Like many of the wines made at this estate, it's not a blockbuster, just nicely balanced." Drink now - 2033.

From the outstanding 2010 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "The 2010 Gigondas Tradition Les Grands Montmirail (70% Grenache and the rest equal parts Mourvedre, Cinsault and Syrah) comes from south-facing vines planted in limestone soils, hence the wine’s super-ripeness. Its dense purple color is followed by notes of pen ink, incense, camphor, graphite and loads of blackberry and cassis fruit.

From the good 2013 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "The 2013 Moulin-à-Vent Les Rouchaux spent 12 to 15 months in barrel. Compared to the 2013 La Roche, the fruit here is less broody and more open, some red cherries beginning to appear with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly spiced opening, chalky tannin, and a focused, intense finish that leaves boysenberry and citrus fruit on the aftertaste. This is an excellent, modern-style Moulin-à-Vent." Drink now - 2033.

Scoring 92/100 Parker points "The 2014 Domaine de Terre Ferme Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc (80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Clairette) tastes like a top flight Chardonnay with is terrific notes of spiced apple, honeycomb, mint and subtle, crushed rock-like minerality. Gorgeous on the palate with a medium plus-bodied mouthfeel with bright, yet integrated acidity and laser focus through the finish" Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2000 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker Points, "The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Elisabeth Chambellan Vieilles Vignes is a hedonistic fruit bomb with oodles of strawberry and cherry fruit.
