DOMAINE DU CAILLOU CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE LE CLOS DU CAILLOU RESERVE 2010

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 3 x 1 cm. 1 x wrinkled label

Monumental stuff in every way, the blockbuster 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Le Clos du Caillou has put on even more richness and weight than when I tasted it on release ( and it rated 98). Inky colored, it offers up extraordinary aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, black cherry, crushed rocks, spring flowers and melted licorice to go with a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, dense and layered profile on the palate. It needs to be tasted to be believed. Forget it for another 4-5 years, at which point it will evolve gracefully for another two decades. It’s that good. August 2014 Drink: 2018-2038 WA 100
