WINE ADVOCATE
The dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan is an outrageously rich, complex wine exhibiting beautiful creme de cassis, kirsch, licorice, forest floor, and spring flower-like aromas. It is fresh, voluptuous, and opulent in the mouth, but the fresh acids and vibrancy give it exceptional precision as well as a refreshing style despite its weight, richness, and length. This is a superb, young Chateauneuf du Pape from an up-and-coming star of the appellation. Give it 1-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following two decades.

Les Deux Rhones’ 2007 and 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape are both incredible sleepers of the vintage. This small estate’s dedicated, conscientious, young proprietor, Stephane Vedeau, appears intent on making a top-flight reputation for himself.

WINE SPECTATOR
A ripe, fruit-forward, modern style, with the raspberry ganache, blueberry paste and blackberry confiture notes showing a slightly jammy edge, all backed by hints of anise and melted licorice. Drink now through 2015. 250 cases imported
