2006 Le Clos du Caillou, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve
A textbook Chateauneuf with great future! A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre und 10% Syrah. Despite the youth this wine reveals an incredible depth, power, structure and concentration. A basket of black fruits, black tea, spice-box and bitter-chocolate. Here we have the “black concentration” of Grenache. But despite the density, the wine is amazingly elegant and polished thanks to the massive silky tannins. Thankfully not port like and in addition a gorgeous endless finish.......a must-buy for every Chateauneuf-du-Pape aficionado. It was very helpful for the performance that the wine was opened 1 day ago (not decanted!).
