Chateauneuf du Pape Grenaches des Pierre Domaine Giraud 2017 (750ML)

95 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Drawn from sandy soils in the lieux-dits of La Crau and Pignan, the all-Grenache 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Grenaches de Pierre features wiry, herbal threads sewn into a fabric of tart cranberries and raspberries. It's full-bodied and tannic, needing a few years to loosen up. Ultimately, it should reward the patient with a complex, silken tapestry of flavors." 8/19

96+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "Lastly, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Grenaches de Pierre offers slightly more purity and elegance, yet certainly doesn't come up short on power or concentration. Stunning black cherries, currants, underbrush, ground pepper, and earthy, rocky mineral notes all give way to a deeper, darker, rich, concentrated wine that's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age. It will see its 20th birthday in fine form." 8/19
