93+ points Rhone Report: "[$85 list] A serious, old vine Grenache Cuvee that's aged all in new oak, the 2005 Mas de la Deveze Cotes du Roussillon Villages Pandora is still a baby in terms of development, sporting an inky purple color to go with decadent, awesomely rich aromas of roasted herbs, black licorice, smoked meats, crushed flowers, and earthy dark fruits. Full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, yet with impeccable balance, notable freshness, and a mineral and bitter chocolate driven finish, this is thrilling stuff that possesses loads of richness and power, yet also shows a sense of restraint and elegance. It opens up over the evening, yet never loses its primary, youthful flare or structured edge. I would give bottles another 3-4 years in the cellar, at which point it should be at the early stages of maturity, with a full decade or longer of prime drinking. (Mar 2012)"
92 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "[$85 list] A special bottling of pure old vines Grenache in (four!) new barrels, Bernstein’s 2005 Pandora mingles strawberry jam, white pepper, smoked meat, and barrel staves in the nose, and comes to the palate amazingly sweet and high-toned, with strawberry liqueur underlain by persistent meatiness and stony mineral character. Fine tannins suffuse the palate but do not interfere with the enjoyment of so much pure, ripe fruit. (Oct 2007)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "The blend in Revelette’s top red is 45% Syrah, 35% Cab Sauvignon and 20% Grenache, although it varies a bit from year to year. It’s riper, warmer and richer than the regular red, with plenty of savory spice notes, lavender and black cherry fruit. It’s long and richly tannic on the finish, but soft and rounded; a wine that you could drink now or hold up to 10 years. (Jul 2008)"
