Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The classic 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape from this team is a winner, offering a medium to full-bodied, finesse-driven style as well as terrific aromatics of darker berries, raspberries, garrigue, and flowers, with a kiss of background peppery spice. It's balanced, medium to full-bodied, has ripe, soft tannins, and is loaded with character. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years. (Drink between 2022-2037. (11/11/22)"

93 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "Offering up enticing aromas of very ripe red and black fruits, dried herbs, licorice and hints of white pepper, the complex 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is full-bodied, muscular and firmly structured. Already drinking well today, it will develop a wide array of tertiary characteristics after a few more years in bottle. Drink: 2024-2038. (Jun 2023)"

93 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Strong ruby, purple reflections, broad ochre brightening on the rim. Nuances of cranberries, a touch of liquorice, fine tobacco nuances, delicate lavender in the background. Juicy, ripe, sour red cherries, fresh plums, ripe tannins, a touch of nougat and dried figs on the finish. Elegant, already accessible, endowed with good ageing potential. (4/20/23)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$65 list] Broad and rich in feel, with warmed cassis and cherry puree notes gliding through, laced with sandalwood, red tea and warm stone accents. A focused and steady wine that opens slowly in the glass. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Best from 2023 through 2035. (2/28/23)"

92 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "With a strong floral character, the wine quickly moves to its spices, kirsch and green leafy notes. Polished, round, fresh and sweet, the cherry, cocoa and spicy palate finish already tastes and feels great. The wine blends 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 5% Cinsault. Drink from 2022-2032. (Jan 2023)"
