Hier sind sich alle Weinkritiker mal ziemlich einig. Was aber nochmals hervorzuheben ist, ist die 97 Punkte Bewertung im Wine Spectator. Der Wine Spectator hält sich mit Punkten in diesen Sphären normalerweise eher bedeckt. Um so höher ist die Bewertung einzustufen. Zusätzlich ist der Wein beim Wine Spectator in der Top100 aus 2019 auf Platz 6 gelistet.

99 Punkte - James Suckling:

"Handy depth of dark, stony minerals and ripe, dark berries with a wealth of plush tannins. Dark plums and rich, chocolate liqueur to close. Impressive. Drink or hold."

97 Points - Joe Czerwinski (RobertParker.com): "Bottled only a week before my visit, I was blown away by how well Beaucastel's 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape was showing. It's full-bodied, creamy, lush and rich, with layers of raspberry fruit, garrigue and spice that unfold across a seamless palate. No doubt it will go through cycles of being open and closed throughout its lifespan, but it would be a mistake to simply order a case, put it into storage and forget about it without trying one first and swooning over the sheer lusciousness and youthful complexity."

97 Punkte - Wine Spectator + Top100 of 2019 #6:

"Youthfully reticent, but warm and polished in feel, with a large core of cassis, raspberry and cherry puree notes lying in wait for now. Threads of red licorice, warm stone and singed mesquite and cedar emerge steadily through the lengthy finish as the fruit unwinds slowly. Concentrated yet precise. Sock this away in the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2040." 97/100

96+ Punkte - Jeb Dunnuck:

"Being bottled the day of my visit, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in as a blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties. It offers a ripe, sexy, rounded style that quickly shows more structure, minerality, and tannin with time in the glass. Blackberries, blueberries, smoked earth, violets, and garrigue all give way to a full-bodied, deep, structured Beaucastel that's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. It reminds me of the 2001."
