93 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Prestige offers a bigger, sweeter, and richer core of fruit to go with medium to full-bodied depth and concentration on the palate. Peppery, Provençal and garrigue-laced, this beautiful 2013 has terrific tannin quality and a great finish. It can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade. Drink: 2015-2025. (Oct 2015)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$80 list] Rather Burgundian in feel, with alluring cherry sauce, plum compote and raspberry coulis flavors, backed by a twinge of licorice. A violet hint lingers at the end, giving this additional grace and length. Drink now through 2025. 224 cases imported. (11/15/15)"
92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$80 list] Full ruby. Smoke-accented blackberry and cherry preserve aromas show excellent clarity and pick up hints of licorice and candied flowers with air. Lush and open-knit, offering gently sweet red and dark berry and spicecake flavors and a hint of smoky minerality. The smoky quality comes back strong on the persistent, floral-accented finish, which is given shape by fine-grained tannins. Drink: 2020-2026. (Apr 2016)"
**** John Livingstone-Learmonth: "(casks) medium to dark robe. Warm, plummy, red fruit nose with a touch of meat extract. There is generous fruit on the palate, along with plenty of juicy extract. The tannins are firm but rounded. Powerful in style (especially for the vintage). Shows good ageing potential. From 2017. 15°. 2026-28. (Oct 2014)"
