Simon Field | Modest of hue, but quite aromatically assertive, the wine is fat, indulgent in its oxidative purview, rather stifling, oily, and assuming. | 85

Andrew Jefford | Deep, bright gold. Very aromatic: lots of honey, balsam, apricot, melon sweetness, some faint ginger. Vivid and mouth-filling on the palate, once again with very good aromatic profiling; a little fresher and less rich in style than some of its peers but still glycerol-supported, and the aromatic precision takes it right to the top of the class. A truly delicious and impressively fragrant white Châteauneuf-du-Pape where the Roussanne is high in quality and working overtime. | 92

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Yellow robe. The nose goes wham! with a mandarin burst, mandarin chunks, and an exotic litchi backup. It has inner depth and is based on well-ripened crop. The palate is weighty—this is a real texture and glycerol wine, with a southern lands pedigree. There is enjoyable breadth on both nose and palate, and it goes long. This is a virtuous Châteauneuf-du-Pape: neighboring appellations cannot deliver this depth of gras and the lissom texture all in the one glass. Decanting useful. To 2028/31. | 92
