Chateauneuf du Pape Marcoux 2023 (750ML)

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Medium ruby-hued, with a thrilling nose of mulled red and black fruits, olive tapenade, damp flowers, and Provençal herbs, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape is based on 80% Grenache with 10% Mourvèdre, 7% Syrah, and 3% Cinsault, aged 18 months in 75% concrete with 20% large wooden vats and 5% old barrels. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. All of the estates chasing the new "elegant" style could learn something from tasting more Marcoux, an estate that has always produced sensationally pure, seamless, and elegant wines with richness, depth, texture, and character. Drink 2025-2045." 11/25
