Robert Parker

A new non-vintage Châteauneuf du Pape made from the best barrels of the Anonyme cuvée from 2007 (43%), 2009 (21%), and 2010 (36%). Châteauneuf du Pape La Réserve is hedonistic and decadent, offering an opulent nose of blackberries, raspberries, gingerbread, and notes of licorice and crushed flowers. Beautifully round, it has superb texture and retains remarkable freshness and purity. This incredible, complex wine should be able to age for 15 years or more. (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Original and superb, to be enjoyed slowly after a meal, taking the time to savor this nectar.
