2019 Delas "Haute Pierre" Chateauneuf du Pape (750ml Bottle)

92 Points from Wine Spectator: "Features melted red licorice, fresh currant, spiced fruit cake and raspberry tart flavors that are inviting and supple yet quickly firm up on the palate, thanks to fine-grained tannins and red tea-laced acidity. Reveals good tension and persistence. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2025 through 2038. 2,750 cases made, 390 cases imported." (2/28/23)

91 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Delas's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre is a blend of Grenache and Syrah vinified in concrete and aged in foudre. Remarkably, I still detected hints of cedar on the nose, joined by notes of leather, clove and raspberries. It's full-bodied and reasonably supple, except for some woody tannins. While it came across as a bit disjointed, in a few years this should come together nicely." (5/5/22)
