A big step up (I always find a bigger quality gap from the Les Olivets to the Reserve than from the Reserve to the Prestige), the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is medium-bodied and charming, with lots of Grenache character in its damp underbrush, wild herb, blackcurrant and licorice-laced black raspberry fruit. Like all of the cuvées here, its tannins are ripe and polished, it’s balanced and has tons to like. It will have 10-12 years of overall longevity.
