Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Checking in as a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest a handful of varieties, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape was brought up in a mix of foudre and older barrels. This deep ruby/purple-hued effort has a pure, vibrant, incredibly seamless, medium to full-bodied style that carries classic notes of black raspberry and black cherry fruits as well as peppery herbs, violets, spring flowers, and sous bois. This straight-up gorgeous, seamless, ultra-fine 2019 should be snatched up by readers. It has a rare mix of elegance, purity, and power, and it’s going to have two decades of prime drinking. Drink: 2021-2041. (11/3/21)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "[$67 list] Ripe and lush as well as vibrant and fresh, thanks to violet and graphite notes that enhance the corpulent cassis, plum and blackberry preserve flavors. Delivers light tar, anise and roasted apple wood notes on the finish. Drink now through 2032. (12/31/21)"

93 points Decanter: "A beautifully open and ripe nose of white pepper and raspberry fruit. This is concentrated and ripe on the palate, with good freshness, and very clean, well-defined fruit. Drink 2024-2035. (June 2022)"

92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$67 list] Shimmering ruby. Expressive, mineral-accented red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by suggestions of garrigue and pungent flowers. Energetic and focused on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become deeper and sweeter as the wine unfolds. Juicy and sharply focused, displaying strong, spicy lift on the long penetrating finish, which features harmonious tannins and repeating florality. Drink: 2024-2032. (Oct 2021)"
