1.5L DOMAINE DU PEGAU CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE CUVEE LAURENCE 2017 MAGNUM

97 POINTS, James Suckling, formally of Wine Spectator. "Enveloping, warm and spicy nose with an extremely wide spectrum of aromas, ranging from dried rose to graphite via thyme and smoked bacon. Very powerful, concentrated and earthy, yet there’s brightness in there that makes it shine. Stunningly fine tannins power the super-long finish. Drink or hold."

95 POINTS, Jeb Dunnuck. "I loved the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Laurence. It has a more classic style in its Provençal aromas and flavors of peppery herbs, garrigue, sandalwood, and charcuterie, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It’s a classic, complex, gorgeous wine in the making."
