"The outstanding 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hautes Brusquieres Cuvee Speciale offers beautiful kirsch liqueur, cedar, tobacco leaf, spice box, licorice, and earth notes. This Burgundian-like Chateauneuf du Pape comes across like a grand cru Corton. Dark ruby-hued, with full body, and a fleshy, long personality, it should drink well for 12-15+ years.
I am a big fan of Michel Maret’s Domaine de la Charbonniere, but his 2007s seem to have had very slow, late malolactics, and were less formed and accessible to taste than most of their peers. That said, there is considerable promise in these wines, and I expect they will eclipse their estimated scores, at the very least. 91 points" -Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 179, Oct 2008
