2020 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo 1.5 Liter

"98-99 Points. Incredibly complex leather and forest-floor character, as well as great wild-blackberry fruit, make this enormously concentrated and powerful Chateauneuf du Pape irresistible. So graceful and silky at the super-long finish. With every swirl of the glass, the aromas expand!" Review Date: April 2022

"95-97 Points. Another wine that showed better this go-round as well is the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Da Capo, and it's always a good sign when a wine gets better over the course of its élevage. Plenty of ripe black fruits, roasted garrigue, gamey meats, and flowers define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with plenty of mid-palate depth, a focused, more elegant mouthfeel, and building tannins. While I'm not convinced this matches previous vintages, it's not far off, and certainly time will tell. It's unquestionably a gorgeous Châteauneuf du Pape. It's always a great tasting with Laurence Féraud, and the quality at this address remains sky-high, both with their reds and their whites. I was thrilled to see the 2020s show better this go-round, and this will certainly be a solid vintage." Review Date: November 2022
