2016 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Réserve 97 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Ripe dark berries and good garrigue in the bouquet. On the palate beautifully ripe fruits and garrigue. Beautiful sweetness and acidity. Great length. Really nice a friend brought a magnum to this dinner/tasting. I have a few, so there will be a follow up on this note. Although truly great already, I personally prefer the wines with a little more age on it, so with a score of just 97 for tonight, I am spoiling the average a bit ;-)
