"Shimmering violet. Powerful, mineral- and spice-tinged boysenberry and cherry preserve scents are complemented by hints of vanilla and potpourri. Sappy and impressively concentrated, offering energetic red/blue fruit liqueur, spicecake, cola and candied lavender flavors sharpened by a jolt of smoky minerality. Lush yet lively as well, with a strikingly long, spice-driven finish that features chewy, steadily building tannins."
Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points
"The smaller production cuvée is the 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Des Cadettes, which checks in as 49% Grenache, 31% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre that was vinified all in tronconique tanks and aged all in foudres. Its slightly deeper ruby/purple color is followed by a powerful 2018 offering beautiful blackcurrant and blackberry fruit intermixed with notes of pepper, toasted spice, and cedary garrigue. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, with solid mid-palate depth and ripe, present tannins, this beautiful 2018 will benefit from a year or three of bottle age and shine over the following decade."
