Chateauneuf du Pape Colombis Familie Isabel Ferrando 2023 (750ML)

96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Kirsch, Provençal herbs, and floral nuances all emerge from the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Colombis, a sappy, peppery effort that's incredibly perfumed and shows the refined, classy, flawlessly balanced style of this estate today. It's medium to full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a juicy finish that makes you salivate. This beauty is absolutely impossible to resist today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't evolve beautifully for 15 years if well stored. Drink 2025-2040." 11/25

98 Points, Stuart Pigott, JameSuckling.com: "Enormously deep and concentrated, but this is so subtle and defies easy description. The superfine tannins give this an incredibly fine texture, the richness building in the finish without adding anything to the impression of weight. From three old-vine grenache vineyards that have limestone, sand and galet soils. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." 04/25

95 Points, Matt Walls, Decanter: "A soft, juicy and approachable wine, only medium-bodied, with good acidity and freshness. It’s remarkably crisp for a pure Grenache. Not the most concentrated in fruit perhaps, but it’s very drinkable and well balanced. Pure whole-bunch Grenache grown in three lieux dits: Colombis, Crista nord and Rayas; fermented in concrete, then aged one-third each in concrete, foudre and amphora. (Drink between 2025-2035)" 10/24
