94pts Robert Parker's Advocate

Very flattering to taste, even at this early stage, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape les Olivets boasts layered, nuanced aromas of fresh flowers and ripe raspberries. Full-bodied and rich, yet silky, this blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Cinsault and 10% Syrah finishes long, with just a touch of warmth. It looks like a delicious CdP for early drinking.

Winemaker Notes

The bright ruby of the color introduces a nose of smoke, fur, meat juice, undergrowth. Mouth is built around mature tannins extended by the ripe black cherry.
