The finest vintage I’ve tasted of the entry level wine, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Du Vatican (65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre) is loaded with notions of blackberry jam, toasted spices, licorice and roasted herbs. Medium to full-bodied, upfront and with terrific density, it’s an impressive barrel sample and this should end up being a great value. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com

(raised in a combination of foudres and mostly used barriques) Vivid ruby. Spice-accented red fruit, licorice and potpourri aromas show very good clarity and an energizing smoky mineral nuance. Sappy raspberry and boysenberry flavors stretch out and pick up a sexy floral quality with air. Shows very good depth and tension, carrying no excess fat and culminating in a long, juicy finish framed by supple, harmonious tannins. Mar 2017, www.vinous.com
