"In contrast to Janasse's varietal Ch-teauneuf-du-Pape bottlings, this expression of old vines dating as far back as 1920 blends Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and other grapes from four distinct vineyard sites. Matured primarily in foudres, it offers piercing blackberry and black-plum flavors softened by flurries of peppercorn and anise as well as ripe, feathery tannins. Anchored by a firm earthen undertow, the wine will improve through 2040 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Starkes «Brett» in Bouquet und Gaumen, seidige Struktur, Aromen von Brombeere, Veilchen und Lakritz, feine Süsse, ausgesprochen präsente Säure, die diesen ungewöhnlichen Wein enorm saftig macht. Jetzt sehr gut zu trinken mit entwickelter, sauberer Sekundärfrucht. Feine, nussige Tannine im edlen Finish."

"Here is a wine that shows the serious side of Ch-teauneuf. While the fruit is certainly huge, what is equally apparent is the restrained power and the rich, concentrated tannins. This is a style of wine that would appeal to a Zinfandel lover."

"From four parcels of vines, all giving different characteristics to the final blend. This is a beautifully structured wine, almost charming at first, and then packing an intense mouthful of fresh, balanced and dangerously delicious fruit. There is a touch of new wood, but the fruit is the star of this great wine. Imported by European Cellars."

"The nose is aromatic, racy and powerful (but in finesse). It reveals notes of cassis, small wild berries and small notes of blackberry associated with slight touches of wild strawberry, spices, licorice, flowers as well as discreet hints of pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers gourmandise, finesse, a beautiful suavity, a beautiful juiciness, a good definition as well as a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy blackberry, juicy plum and small notes of juicy black berries, fleshy blueberry associated with hints of fleshy raspberry, Zan, tobacco, toasted oak / chocolate as well as slight / discreet hints of caramelization and almond. Tannins are fine and a bit firm. Good length."

"The nose offers power, a beautiful finesse of the concentration, intensity as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of ripe wild cassis, ripe wild blackberry, small notes of black plum associated with small touches of violet, black plum as well as very discreet hints of garrigue/thyme and an imperceptible hint of laurel berries. The palate is fruity, creamy and offers a beautiful juiciness, freshness, minerality as well as a beautiful mineral frame, a beautiful definition, finesse of the grain, precision and concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of small creamy black berries, pulpy wild cassis, small notes of laurel berries associated with touches of wild strawberry, small wild red berries as well as hints of black pepper, pink laurel, sense of the place as well as very discreet hints of caramelization, toasted and chocolate. A subtle hint of vanilla and a very discreet hint of bitterness on the finish/persistence."
