The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve is a ripe, sexy, port-like beauty that offers incredible blackcurrants, blackberry, garrigue, herbs and pepper aromas and flavors. Powerful, full-bodied, thick and unctuous, with gorgeous purity, this damn thing made my blood pressure jump about 10 points. Jeb Dunnuck - Jeb Dunnuck (96-99)
A blend from two foudres, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee sample was firm and chunky (in need of further élevage), but it showed attractive, dusty dark fruit and licorice flavors and a touch of warmth on the finish. Wine Advocate 92-94
