2010 Paul Avril Clos des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape

 "Full bodied, packed and stuffed with sweet, spicy berries, red fruits and floral notes. The wine is sweet, concentrated and dense. There is a lot of volume and depth in this wine. At 16% alcohol ,there is no sensation of heat at any point in the experience. I could be short changing this wine on the 98 Pt score, it's sublime and really leaves a lasting impression. A few years in the bottle should add a lot to this elixir." - 98/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
