The 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is in the top 2-3 wines in the vintage. Possessing rock-star concentration and depth, full-bodied richness and loads of sweet tannin, it offers layers of ripe blackberry, graphite, licorice and toasted-spice aromas and flavors. One of the more powerful and structured efforts in the vintage, it nevertheless always stays balanced, graceful and light on the palate...enjoy bottles through 2027. eRobertParker.com

Great fruit, nice baking spice aroma. This wine had a nice earthy and minerality note to it. The acid worked well and overall it was a clean honest GSM! Hands down I'd drink this wine again!

Wow! CDP of the year for me! Structure, smoothness, fruit, and more! Lots of plums, velvet, and back loaded minerality. Bravo! Neil, wish you were here.
