Roger Sabon Chateauneuf du Pape Les Olivets 2014 (750ML)

92 WS / 88-90 VM

"A violet hint gives way quickly to a core of lightly steeped plum and raspberry fruit, all inlaid with a singed mesquite note. Echoes of smoldering tobacco leaf and juniper check in on the finish. Shows good range. Best from 2017 through 2024. 224 cases imported." –JM, Wine Spectator

Deep ruby. Dark berries, smoked meat and licorice on the deeply scented nose. In a somewhat wild style, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors sharpened by a suggestion of black pepper. Closes with firm grip and building tannins, leaving a smoky, gamy note behind. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
