Chateauneuf du Pape Les Terrasses Olivier Hillaire 2016 (750ML)

95 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Terrasses is a fine example of old-vine Grenache from a parcel of vines near La Nerthe. Rose petals and black tea accent pristine cherry and raspberry fruit in this full-bodied but silky-lacy, delicate wine. Long, briny and refreshing on the finish, it's deceptively drinkable but undoubtedly packs a wallop." 8/18

94 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Brilliant violet. Lively, mineral-accented red and blue fruit aromas are complemented by suggestions of lavender and vanilla. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated raspberry and boysenberry flavors that deepen and become spicier as the wine opens up. Closes sweet, energetic and very long, displaying harmonious tannins and lingering smoke and red berry liqueur notes." 7/18
