This wine is aged completely in older small barrels. It is a candidate of the wine of the vintage. Dazzling in all respects, it boasts an inky/ruby/purple color, which is amazing given that this is all Grenache. It demonstrates the power of tiny yields and old vines. The extraordinary nose of crushed rocks, framboise, crème de cassis, and kirsch is dramatic. As the wine sits in the glass, notions of acacia flowers, licorice, and incense also make an appearance. On the palate, this is a wine of unreal concentration, a true elixir with a full-bodied style, yet incredibly fresh and well-delineated. There are oodles of concentrated red and black fruits , plenty of Provencal typicity, and a block buster finish that lasts well over a minute.
This is prodigious stuff that should age into a monumental bottle of Châteauneuf du Pape in 7-10 years. It should live for two decades after that." (Parkers Wine Advocate 179, 2008)
