94 points Wine Spectator: "[$55 list] Offers a wide range of dark, exotic fig, boysenberry and blackberry cobbler notes, with blueberry paste, pastis-drenched plum and smoky black tea flavors, all weaving deftly through the very silky finish. Shows ample concentration, but this is all guile and grace. Best from 2014 through 2032. 2,500 cases made. (10/15/12)"

94 points Jeb Dunnuck (Rhone Report): "Showing notably better from bottle than from barrel, the stunning 2010 Château de la Font du Loup Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 5% Cinsault that is aged in a combination of tank, barrique, and demi-muid for 18 months. Gorgeously perfumed, with a knockout bouquet of sappy garrigue, white pepper, wild strawberries, and loads of floral qualities, this beauty flows onto the palate with an elegant, finesse-driven profile that has nothing out of place, a seamless, silky texture, and incredibly polished tannin that frame the finish. More than a little impressive and representing a brilliant value, this classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape will drink well for 10-12 years, if not longer. (Sep 2012)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine--a classically styled blend of 65% Grenache and 20% Syrah, with the remainder being Mourvèdre and Cinsault--bursts with intoxicating aromas of potpourri and ripe cherries. The tannins are soft, giving it a lush, creamy mouthfeel and a delicate finish that still retains a sense of power. (Aug 2013)"
