This rock star traditional cuvée gives up loads of black licorice, garrigue, black raspberries, and kirsch liqueur. It's powerful and full-bodied, yet elegant and seamless, with fine tannin, no hard edges, and a great finish. Despite the richness and weight, it stays weightless and elegant, with silky tannin. Don't miss it.\" (August, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eJames Suckling 93\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e\"Attractive freshness and power, this typifies much of what is great about the 2016 vintage. It carries the ripeness well. Dark berries and flowers lead to ripe plums and succulent, long tannins carrying abundant, ripe, dark fruit. Blows out big flavor on the finish. Drink or hold.\" (August, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eVinous Media (Josh Raynolds) 91-93\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e\"Brilliant ruby-red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, garrigue and potpourri, along with subtle woodsmoke and white pepper notes. Sweet, seamless and focused on the palate, offering juicy raspberry liqueur, spicecake and allspice flavors firmed by a spine of juicy acidity. Delivers a solid flavor punch but comes off graceful; a suave candied lavender note drives the gently tannic finish.\" (July, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eWine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski) 92\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e\"A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% each Cinsault and Mourvèdre, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is full-bodied, rich and round. Despite being a touch on the warm side, it's deceptively easy to drink, with sexy flavors of raspberries and chocolate that glide to a smooth, lingering finish.\" (August, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037447606511,"sku":"5297","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/pierreusseglioCDP2016.jpg?v=1731312779","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2016-pierre-usseglio-chateauneuf-du-pape","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
