Uncorked:

Robert Parker:

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois displays more pepper, wet stone, licorice, foresty and earthy characteristics accompanied by sweet black currant and black raspberry fruit. Full-bodied and rich, it plays it tighter to the vest than the more open-knit 2009. It should drink well for 15+ years. 92-95 points

Jancis Robinson:

All concrete vats. Limpid red velvet look. Very fresh and precise and almost clarety. No hint of the massive opulence and alcohol of 2009. Firm tannin and acidity. Drink 2016-2026
