Starting with the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Galets D'Or, this medium ruby-hued effort offers a classic perfume of sweet red fruits (cherries, redcurrants) intermixed with sappy garrigue, pepper, and leather nuances. Nicely balanced and medium to full-bodied, with a focused, elegant style, it brings the sweet, ripe fruit of the vintage, has ripe tannins, and the class to drink spectacularly well for a solid 15 years if well stored
James Suckling: 93 Points
A dense wine, rich and full of ripe fruits, this has intense honey and young spice and tropical fruits. Its balance is completed by the wine's acidity and fresh aftertaste. Drink from 2027.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
An enticing, supple red, showing cassis and macerated plum brushed with roasted apple wood and baking spice details. There's an earthy dimension, with brown bread and cracked pepper, while saline-edged tangy acidity keeps tension. Iron shavings add firmness to the finish, which is round, broad and long. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2036. 500 cases made, 500 cases imported.
