Reine des Bois CNDP 2020 MG

96 points Jeb Dunnuck. ''The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Reine Des Bois is a bigger. richer. more structured wine. which is normal. A blend of 80% Grenache. 10% Mourvedre. and the rest equal parts Syrah and Vaccarese. its deeper ruby/purple hue is followed by a brilliant perfume of blackberries. black raspberries. ground pepper. violets. and new saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated. with building tannins and great overall balance. it's another wine that shows the style of the vintage brilliantly. It has plenty of up-front charm. but this beauty will evolve nicely for 15-20 years.''11/2022.

The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois is a more charming. seductive wine than the more concentrated and tannic 2019. Cherries. stone fruit and a hint of garrigue mark the nose. while the full-bodied palate is supple. nicely balanced and harmonious. showing impressive length and ample concentration on the finish.
