Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
"Aromas of black plum, blueberry, cassis, black licorice and olives waft through violets and dusty wood musk. The palate broods in fresh blackberries, raspberries, freshly ground black pepper and clove. This full-bodied expression has fine grippy tannins that trail into a black-tea finish."
Vinous, 90 Points
"A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Haute Pierre matured for two years in a combination of old oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. Refined and expressive, it displays ripe red and black fruits such as forest strawberry, black cherry and black plum, along with licorice nuances. Wrapped in smooth tannins, this 2020 red offers a seamless mouthfeel. A well-integrated and comparatively moderate 14.3% alcohol complements the fresh profile."
Winemaker Notes:
"The color is a deep garnet red. The nose of the “Haute Pierre” has strong spicy aromas that reveal a rich, powerful body that is delicate, yet has a tightly-knit tanninc framework. On the palate, the wine is rich and unctuous, revealing intense licorice-like flavors. It can easily be kept 10 years or more."
Alcohol: 14.5%
