Blackberries, roasted garrigue, graphite, cassis, and ground pepper all soar from this fabulous Grenache, which has ultra-fine yet substantial tannins, full-bodied richness, and a broad, layered, incredibly compelling style. Borderline perfection, it doesn't get better than this in the vintage, so hats off to Jean-Paul Daumen for another truly singular, magical wine. Give bottles 2-4 years and enjoy over the following 15-20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackberry jam flavours, but still powerful and fresh. Crushed strawberries too, and crushed bay leaves. It’s full-bodied and powerful, with remarkably driving acidity. The finish is long, with pliable, if dense, tannins – chewy like liquorice. It’s concentrated but not overripe, and the alcohol doesn't feel excessive in the mouth (though it's still around 16.5%!). A great Grenache, with incredible structure. Selection from Les Trois Sources, the domaine’s oldest Grenache. Only produced when the Grenache is good enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes of spices, dark wild berries, dark cherries, flowers, violet and iris introduce the dense, powerful structure of the 2022 Réservé, a fleshy, concentrated wine with velvety tannins, seamless texture and a pure, long and powerful finish. It's a masterful display of controlled power, enhanced by a harmonious, clean and polished structure that perfectly exemplifies the Daumen family’s style. This incredible wine will offer a broad drinking window. Kudos! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve is one of the wines of the vintage. Soaring from the glass with precise layers of crushed violets, graphite, raspberry compote, melted licorice and orange rind, the 2022 packs dazzling levels of concentration, yet there’s enough freshness to keep everything in check. Interestingly, it is less spicy compared to the 2019 and 2020 renditions, instead focusing on glossy fruit and floral elements. Firmly built like a skyscraper, the knock-out 2022 shouldn’t be touched prior to 2030. Production yielded only 1,700 bottles.

Supported by a firm spine of solid iron, with its mix of cherry leather, smoked lavender and bitter plum skin showing tar, balsamic and dark chocolate details. Singed cedar notes will integrate with time in bottle. The tannins are powerful yet finely cut, and though massive in scale, this doesn't tip into over-opulence. Give this a few years to show its true potential. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
