Tasting Notes
Robert Parker
Score: 90-93+ / 100"The atypical 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hesperides (50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre aged in cement tank and 20% Syrah aged in new oak) reveals lots of sauteed mushroom, roast beef, bouquet garni and tree bark-like notes. It is hard to envision what this black, brooding wine might turn out to be in 5-10 years, when it is fully mature."
Bibendum
Score: 17.5 / 20In an unusual move for a special cuvee, no oak was used for this wine - the quality of the fruit is so good, the structure is already inherent in the grapes. Very pure fruit with deep savoury characters.
