Lançon Père & Fils - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine de la Solitude Cuvée Barberini 2000
92 points
Beautiful. A thick-textured, ripe, full-bodied and black colored wine with a smooth coating of tanins, delivering mineral, black fruit, mocha, espresso ans some smoke, all showcased in a modern package but without overt toasted oak accents - the balance is really impressive here between terroir and ripe fruit.
So refined, drink it now or hold for a couple of decades. Drink now through 2024.

Lançon Père & Fils - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine de la Solitude Secrète Réserve 2000

Masterful wine. Stunning quality from start to finish in this full-bodied, elegant and refined red.
Dark in color, massively tannic, but all the parts are smooth and interlock beautifully - from the sweet black fruit, the slight spicy, mocha and coffee aromas, and above all the velvety texture that caresses the palate and leaves an ethereal sense of greatness on the long finish. Bravissimo ! One for drinking now, but also one for the cellar. Drink now through 2025.
