  May 31, 2013 - Incense, licorice and jammy berries, full bodied, fresh, and balanced, but perhaps a bit too much oak in this modern adaption of Chateauneuf du Pape which leaves it feeling a little bit dry in the finish. If it comes together with time, it will be a better wine, deserving a higher score.

  May 1, 2013 - This cuvée was born in 2005 when, in a terroir of large pebbles, some very old vines of Grenache achieve a phenomenal maturity. Grown in two demi-muids respectively named David & Goliath, this cuvée is even more loaded than the regular Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Displaying a multiplayer profile full of rip and confit dark berries, it still has a great acidity that is quite disturbing as of now but which shows the great potential of this wine. The score could suddenly jump of a point if this integrates well with aging. (90-91+) points
