94 Lucien & André Brunel
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux 2022 $70
Decidedly savory, with tugs of tar, dried sausage and warm soil surrounding plum, melted licorice and anise. Lifted and smooth, with gentle tannins paving the silky finish. Shows depth without heaviness, while sandalwood smoke drifts from beginning to end. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2026 through 2038. 5,000 cases made, 630 cases imported. —K.B.
