100 points Falstaff Wine Magazine

Strong crimson colour, purple reflections, broad ochre lightening on the rim. A complex nose; deeply floral aroma of roses, candied violets, ripe cherries, wild berries and sweet tobacco. In the background lemon balm and lavender, a delightful peacock wheel. Immensely light on the palate, integrated fruit expression, cherry compote, velvety and silky tannin, perfect viscosity which lingers long, literally sails over the palate. A saline-mineral finish, incredible charm, a great seducer.

98-100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A co-fermented blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Mourvèdre, matured in demi-muids (about 10% of the volume is in amphorae this year), the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reserve is a strong candidate for perfection. Sourced from the lieux-dits of Guigasse and Pignan, the nose delivers the essence of sandy-soil Grenache, with notes of rose petals, lavender, thyme, cherries and raspberries. Full-bodied and lush, silky and long, it adds hints of toasty oak and salted licorice on the finish. Drink 2025-2040.

98 points Jeff Leve's The Wine Cellar Insider

Smoke. spices, cherries and flowers on the nose are only part of the show. It is the ripe, lush, supple-textured, sensuous, elegant red berries on the palate that own the day with their length, purity and freshness. The wine is produced from a blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Mourvedre.
