Tasting NotesWine Spectator: 92 Points
Mixed red and dark berry fruit, along with plenty of dark cocoa, mineral and tar notes. Muscular finish shows more pepper, tobacco and structure, with fresh acidity too. Best from 2007 through 2020. 470 cases made. –JM
Robert Parker: 93 Points
Reminiscent of a liqueur of herbes de Provence intermixed with notes of saddle leather and licorice, the dark ruby/plum/purple-tinged 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois reeks of herbs, pepper, and spice box. Smelling and tasting this wine is like walking through an open air Provencal market. It is beautifully fragrant, rich, full-bodied, heady, and long. Drink it over the next 15 years.
