I also loved the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Colombis, another incredible achievement in this vintage. Wild strawberries, savory flowers, subtle Provençal garrigue, and assorted spices define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has silky tannins, and a layered, balanced, seamless profile that's already impossible to resist.
Rated 96/100 Jeb Dunnuck
There are just 4,000 bottles of the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Colombis, but the quality has been maintained, even in this challenging year. It takes a bit of swirling to open up, but once it does, it reveals scents of black cherries, mocha and orange zest on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied without being heavy, but it is perhaps a bit more velvety in texture than its usual silk.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
A stunning wine that's just beginning to unfurl. Starts off plush in feel, with alluring black raspberry and dark cherry coulis, but muscular tannins hold a firm grip. Gains drive and length from generous white and black pepper and mineral energy, with spice box, cocoa powder, black tea and toasted aniseed details. Will evolve gorgeously with time. Best from 2025 through 2038. 850 cases made, 150 cases imported.
