Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"Brilliant ruby-red. Highly expressive, mineral- and spice-accented aromas of ripe red berries and incense show superb definition, and complementary hints of blood orange and candied lavender build in the glass. Shows impressive depth and energetic lift on the palate, offering powerful red currant, cherry preserve and floral pastille flavors and a suggestion of spicecake. Finishes with a snap of juicy acidity, building sweetness and silky tannins that lend shape to a strikingly long, red-fruit- and floral-dominated finish." -Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

RP 97
"A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Cinsault, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier boasts enchanting floral aromas, intoxicating raspberry and cherry fruit and enthralling hints of Swiss cocoa. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it nevertheless comes across as fresh and nearly weightless. The use of stems (the wine is all whole bunches) and an elevated proportion of Cinsault has certainly contributed to this wine's soaring aromas and sense of freshness. It's a fascinating wine." -Joe Czerwinski

"Cask sample. More black than red fruit on the nose, and very punchy tannic grip. Well structured – the tannin is high, but matches well with the fruit intensity. Warm finish. Has the fruit power to develop well."

Wine Spectator

WS 97
"This is beautifully rendered, with a core of focused red currant, plum and raspberry coulis flavors that stretches out nicely while flecks of tobacco, bergamot, and singed sandalwood weave around. A bolt of iron detail shows through the finish, with a light echo of worn leather. Well-built, showing ample energy in reserve. Best from 2020 through 2040."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"Smoky and floral, this perfumed blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Cinsault suggests ripe, fleshy blackberry and raspberry flavors. While plush in texture, crisp granitic tones and fine-grained, densely packed tannins lend an upright feel. Expect peak from 2020 through 2026." -Anna Lee C. Iijima
