2010 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée RéservéeRed Rhone Blend more |
12/19/2022 - Purple Tooth wrote: 96 pointsOne of my bottles, poured next to a 2007 Clos de Papes. Both wines showed fantastic today with the Papes showcasing muscle and power, and the pegau showing allure and sexiness. This bottle outclassed the powerful 2007 de Papes with ease as it effortlessly pranced along to its own beat of terroiristic snobbism, displaying just the right amount of barnyard and smoldering tobacco that is associated with a serious wine. The finish was beautifully re-emerging, brining back more barnyard and a cashmere like warmth. I preferred this by 2 points over the 100 point Clos de Papes, making this 102 points. But all jokes aside, for my taste the Clos de Papes comes in at 94 and this in comparison, was an easy 96. Drink! |

2007 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée RéservéeRed Rhone Blend more |
8/14/2020 - WildeMeeuw Likes this wine: 87 points Kleur: Fluwelig lichtrood met een subtiele oranjebruine verkleuring Aroma / bouquet: Weelderig geparfumeerd en buitengewoon aantrekkelijk bouquet, zacht zoetige indruk van verfijnd hout en gedroogde pruimen, zoetige tabak. Opvallend genoeg lijkt het bouquet na enige beluchting niet meer expressief te worden, maar af te vlakken. Een weinig gunstig voorteken. Smaak / Afdronk: De eerste indruk in de mond is boterzacht, maar wordt direct gevolgd door een wat ruw aandoend (geoxideerd) zuurtje dat in combinatie met de nog aanwezige tannines zorgt voor een wat onaangename 'hoekigheid'. Lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Jammer, dit is niet waar ik op had gehoopt. Een 'exclusieve' Ch9dP zou een 'open haard-wijn' moeten zijn, eten en drinken tegelijkertijd. Geen 'eetwijn'. In combinatie met kaascrackers (Cheese Twists ;-)) biedt deze wijn toch nog voldoende drinkplezier. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 13 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 87/100

2004 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée RéservéeRed Rhone Blend more |
5/26/2019 - MTC2 Likes this wine: 94 pointsExceeding all expectations. Some barnyard upon uncorking, but that blew off after a half hour decant. Black and blue fruit, smoky meat, garrigue, pepper and cedar on the palate. Well-rounded tannin still prominant, and lively acid with a long finish. Superb.

Tastes of strawberry were evident, but there were no layers of anything else that I could put my finger on. This wine is obviously getting great reviews, only based on this actual bottle I can’t figure out why. I will get another and try again. I would say this is drinking well right now and won’t hold any others too much longer.

7/14/2014 - NineteenEightyTwo wrote: 83 pointsPopped and poured at cellar temperature, this was very reticent. Decanting for an hour didn't help this much. Medium-dark crimson color. Faint aromas of graham crackers, but not much else on the nose. The palate is tannic but lacks body and character. I tried this back in 2009 and assumed then that the overall underwhelming impression was due to youth; unhapily, I can report that this seems to be an inferior vintage relative to the expressive, enjoyable 2003 and 2004.

Thanks
