Wine Critic Reviews
Hints of violets and lavender appear alongside mixed berries on the nose of the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Prestige. While not overwhelmingly concentrated or dense, it's beautifully balanced, being medium to full-bodied on the palate, smooth and supple in feel and fresh on the cooling and silky finish, where it adds hints of mocha and darker fruit while retaining a sense of etherealness. It should drink well for a decade, perhaps a bit longer.

Brilliant ruby. Black raspberry, cherry cola, floral and exotic spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up garrigue and licorice nuances with air. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering intense red and dark berry preserve, fruitcake and candied violet flavors that deepen through the back half. Closes very long and gently tannic, leaving repeating spice and floral notes behind.
