Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
93-95 In the same ballpark, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Plateau comes only from the Mont Redon plateau and is a limited release based on 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah brought up in a mix of used and new barrels. Its saturated purple color is followed by a rocking bouquet of black raspberries, cassis, graphite, violets, and crushed rocks. With plenty of background oak, terrific depth of fruit, full body, and ripe, present tannins, it’s another balanced, age-worthy effort from this estate that should be snatched up by readers. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Impressive ripeness and depth for this vintage. Plenty of meat, floral and graphite aromas, as well as black plums. Round and silky, in spite of the generous tannins. Long and refined finish with more than enough power. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit forms the core, with lots of charcoal, warm earth, bittersweet ganache and tobacco notes filling in through the slightly burly finish. Solid energy provides support throughout. A gutsy throwback. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2023 through 2038. 40 cases imported.
