I enjoyed this as well but thought the ‘98 Pegau I had drank recently was the more correct bottle age for this producer. 94 pts Robert Parker, $79.99 from K&L.

Domaine du Cayron

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2013

Rustic and soulful, showing nicely, mature bottle character and whole cluster create a very complex and savory profile. Generous and richly layered red/blk fruit, pine resin, garrigue, sous bois and animal. — 6 months ago

This really developed nicely: dark ruby, no longer opaque w/minor bricking. Soaring aromas of all manner of red berry fruit, very ripe sweet spot, sweet spice, licorice, bit foresty, garrigue, - just spot on. Cohesive balanced mid-palate, lost some weight but very elegant & generous. So much raspberry, strawberry, kirsch liqueur, brambly, white pepper. Nice length on finish. This is peaking - refined example of regal CDP. — 2 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2018

Gorgeous wine with garrigue, violet, smoky meat, wild strawberries, cloves, lavender, bay leaf and leather. This is so elegant already and will be even better balanced with a bit more time in bottle. Great examples of Southern Rhône grenache. Very enjoyable already. — 2 years ago
