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)"
