Wine Enthusiast: 98 Points
In contrast to Janasse's varietal Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottlings, this expression of old vines dating as far back as 1920 blends Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and other grapes from four distinct vineyard sites. Matured primarily in foudres, it offers piercing blackberry and black-plum flavors softened by flurries of peppercorn and anise as well as ripe, feathery tannins. Anchored by a firm earthen undertow, the wine will improve through 2040 and hold further.
The Wine Cellar Insider: 97 Points
Deep, dark and brooding, the wine is concentrated with layers of black cherries, red plums, black raspberries, kirsch, licorice, peppery spices, espresso and earth. There is a lot of power here, so you will need to give this time to develop, integrate and come together. But it will be worth the wait. The wine is made from blending 85% old vine Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and 5% Syrah. This is one of the top wines of the vintage. Drink from 2026 - 2040
Others
Falstaff
Strong ruby, purple reflections, faint ochre brightening on the rim. Delicate herbal spice, some black olive and fig, nuances of liquorice and garrigue, ripe cherries, multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy, silky, sweet berry fruit, tight, integrated tannins, minerality, very long finish, a touch of prunes on the finish, to be drunk from 2025 onwards.
Wine Advocate: 98+ Points
Black cherries, blackberries and garrigue all appear on the nose of the dense, concentrated 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes. Yes, the wine boasts some formidable tannins, but they're ripe, and the fruit is vibrant and intense, with all of the ingredients for cellaring up to two decades. With time, it might even approach the performance of the 2009 (99 points) or 2010 (100).
