I also loved the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a ripe, perfumed, medium to full-bodied effort that stays firmly planted in the more elegant style of the vintage. Ripe red and black fruits (raspberries, strawberries), garrigue, and peppery notes define the aromatics, and it has beautiful tannins as well as outstanding length. It too will evolve for 10-15 years.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A beautifully rounded Chateauneuf with plenty of black and red berry aromas wrapped around a core of fine tannins. Delicate spices and a touch of candied citrus peel expand as the wine aerates. Good length in the silky finish. With this balance and freshness, the wine should age very well. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A strappy, chewy, textured version, with notes of earth, cigar box and mocha atop a chewy base of dried cherry and currant, plus toasted anise and a blast of menthol freshness. Graphite shaving accents bring density and more weight to the substantial finish, cast in iron. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. 2,000 cases imported.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Charming and enveloping, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Guigal is a true classic of the vintage, marrying power with elegance. It wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, mulberries, iris and spring flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, round and fleshy, it’s built around a sweet core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, graceful and gently ethereal finish. This is a beautifully balanced wine that will age gracefully over the next decade and beyond.
Vinous Media: 91-93 Points
Dried herbs, ripe strawberry and licorice introduce the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Almost equally as forward and flamboyant as the delicious 2019, the 2020 is a supple and concentrated red that’s built for the long haul. It offers good length on the savory conclusion.
