CLOS DU CAILLOU |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Faintly herbal, spicy, ripe plum-cherry-apple puree nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, intense, rich, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary, mouthfilling finish. This blend of 95% Grenache plus 5% Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Vaccarèse has 15% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 90-points - Cedary, spicy, rust and blackberry nose; full-bodied, dry, richly extracted, well-balanced, earthy, blackberry flavour; firmly structured with ripe tannins. Hold 5 - 7 years. |

| TASTING NOTE: A big step up over the base cuvée, the deeper, more purple-hued 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Safres offers a downright smorgasbord of Provençal herbs, spices, wild strawberries, garrigue, and black cherry aromas and flavors. About as seamless and sexy as they come, with full-bodied richness and building tannin, as well as incredible purity, I just hope it shows this well from bottle! Drink 2020 - 2030. Score - 93-95 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) |
