2015 Domaine Du Grand Tinel Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Classique"
90 Points

This first-rate estate has turned out a terrific 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it offers lots of garrigue, and southern Rhône spice as well as medium to full-bodied richness, loads of ripe red and black fruits, and chalky tannin on the finish. It's a classic, workhorse styled effort to drink over the coming 7-8 years.-J.D. 10/19/2017 "JebDunnuck.com"

2015 Domaine du Grand Tinel Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Cuvée Alexis Establet"
92 Points

The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Alexis Establet is a bigger, richer wine, yet still shows a classic style in its peppery herbs, black cherry, currant and leather-laced bouquet. It too is rich, concentrated and nicely structured on the palate, and is going to evolve nicely in the cellar.-J.D. 10/19/2017, "JebDunnuck.com"
