Piedlong Rouge 2020
WINE SPECTATOR – KRISTEN BIELER – DÉGUSTATION MARS 2024
(93) A glossy, high-toned style, this seductive red displays red tea, licorice and cherry fruit leather flavors that ride along on a warm, open-knit palate filigreed with lavender and a hint of dried leaves. Elegant and pure, with an element of crushed iron, this has a density that offers plenty of stuffing and length. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032.

95 pts. Very spicy and savory with grilled rosemary and dried flower nuances. Very powerful but extremely focused with a great mineral freshness and salinity, it’s really hard to believe this easily has 15% alcohol! Very fine tannins and a delicate vegetal quality that makes them feel even more lively. Long extremely animating finish with so much Mediterranean herb character. 90% grenache and 10% mourvedre. Drink or hold.
COMMENTAIRES DE DÉGUSTATION PAR L’ÉQUIPE DU VIEUX TÉLÉGRAPHE – LE 8 FÉVRIER 2023
Superbe nez, floral, pivoine…c’est fin et élégant.
La bouche est très agréable, griotte, c’est doux, digeste, dentelé. Belle présence, c’est long et équilibré, surprenant par son accessibilité.
A garder mais il est permis de craquer.

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Piedlong is lighter ruby-hued, and despite coming from pebbly soils, I would have guessed it came from a sandy terroir if tasted blind. Strawberries, cherries, white flowers, and a touch of chalky minerality define the nose, and it’s medium-bodied and finesse-driven on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins. Readers that love a more Burgundian style in their Châteauneuf du Pape should seek this puppy out. 93 pts.

94-95. This beautiful Rhône red will delight Burgundy fans. A fragrant Châteauneuf, in which grenache shows its floral side. So juicy, but this glides over your palate, the balance of creamy richness and elegant tannins spot on. Long, graceful and delicate finish. A blend of 90% grenache and 10% mourvèdre.
