91 pts from Wine & Spirits Magazine (Feb. 09)

"A sleeper of the vintage, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape is a seductive effort offering plenty of earth, tapenade, and spice as well as black cherry and cassis fruit. Deep, full-bodied, rich, chewy, and totally seductive, it can be enjoyed over the next decade."
- Wine Advocate (Oct. 2008), 91 pts

"The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape is a winner. Inky blue/purple with notes of graphite, blueberry, blackberry, smoke, Provencal herbs and a bit of licorice and pepper, it is deep, full-bodied, with sweet tannins and loads of fruit and glycerin. Drink it over the next 12-14 years."
- Wine Advocate (#173, Oct. 2007), 91-93 pts

"Almost black. Very big and ambitious and straining to be top of the heap. Super opulent ripeness on the nose and then rather uncomfortably tannic on the finish. Very, very hot on the end. Unbalanced but this wine would please those who want simply mass. Dark. Heady, supe-rripe cocktail. Easy rather than ambitious but very nicely balanced for early drinking. 70:20:10 Grenache:Syrah:Mourvedre"
- Jancis Robinson, Jan. 2008 16.5 Drink 2012-20

"Deep ruby. Smoky cherry and mocha aromas are brightened by baking spices and blond tobacco. Fresher on the palate, with energetic red fruit qualities and juicy acidity adding lift. Offers a nice marriage of ripeness and vivacity."
