2017 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape BlancWhite Rhone Blend more |
4/26/2024 - Andy2014 wrote: 92 pointsPale gold. Pronounced aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, apple, pear, apricot, bruised apple, blossom, chamomile, cream, yeast, bread, hazelnut, almond. Medium+ acidity, full-bodied. Long and oily but perhaps slightly bitter finish. Very good but appreciate this might be outstanding for some palates. Structure and primary fruit aromas lend themselves to further ageing. |

4/21/2024 - Bsies Likes this wine: 90 pointsI know and love this wine but this 1.5 liter bottle was not up to Clos des Papes usual standards.Tannins not fully integrated, dark fruits muted. Decanted about 3 hours. I think it needed more air rather than time in the bottle. Next (and last) large format I’ll decant overnight. |

This opens with a lot of trapped C02 that quickly dissipates. Definitely decant-the first sip was almost like an off-dry Riesling! Ahh, tangerine moves to a salty, very full and complete palate, nice structure to it, end to end, very mouthfilling, a nice balance of pepper, spice and more restrained focused fruit, driven, finishing quite salty. |

4/17/2024 - Eric wrote: NRChâteauneuf-du-Pape with my boy!; 4/15/2024-4/17/2024 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France): This is at a super tropical stage, very young, juicy and fresh, grapefruit, passion fruit. Some citrus zest on the finish. Bourbolenc and Picpoul really give this freshness. |

4/17/2024 - Eric wrote: NRChâteauneuf-du-Pape with my boy!; 4/15/2024-4/17/2024 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France): 16% and advertises it a bit with some plum and faintly dried prune notes on nose. Mmmm, very ripe but also spicy, white pepper, a very full vintage, reminds me quite a bit of their truly excellent (albeit slightly controversial) 2003. |

4/17/2024 - Eric wrote: NRChâteauneuf-du-Pape with my boy!; 4/15/2024-4/17/2024 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France): Suffered frost on their Syrah so less of the Syrah this year, more of a red fruit profile. Fairly vitamin and wound up at first, mineral, tighter. Vincent calls this wine "easier" as he refers to the croquante/crunchy, juicy red fruit palate. Nice snap, firm and peppery, clearly lighter and brighter and quickly opens in the glass. |

10/25/2023 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 96 points60 minute decant. Nose of balsa wood, vanilla bean, and oak. Supple palate of fresh black raspberries, mulberry, red floral notes, cherry, rhubarb pie, and plenty of baking spices. Adds white pepper, red raspberry, more floral note and acidity as it develops. |

4/14/2024 - Mleh Likes this wine: 94 pointsI continue to live this wine. It benefits from some air and some time outside the fridge before drinking. Nose is I credible rich and complex, straw, honey, grapefruit. Palate is very dry but rich and complex with a very long finish. Very rich almost oily mouthfeel. It’s a beautiful golden color too. |

4/14/2024 - Caruso Likes this wine: 97 pointsPerfectly stored since release without travelling. Ruby to vermilion red without orange hue in thin layers. Cork soaked to 10%. No decant. No extended airation from the bottle. From the start a deep and intense yet focused and nuanced nose with cherries, different dried herbs, blackberries, blood and asian spices. On the palate light on its feet, impressive not because of its power, but elegance and subtlety. Given some previous notes, let me clarify: Of course totally dry with exception of the normal glycerin sweetness that every wine with 14% alc. has; no oxidative notes at all. Nevertheles quite long with medium intensity ending on fruit and blood, iron notes. The tannins have melted to a large extent and there is enough acidity to keep this fresh and balanced. With more air from the glass it shows some more tannins left. Outstanding to extraordinary bottle. 5/14/19/9+. Of course this is fully developed. Difficult to tell, how long this could last, but not optimal stored or bottle that travelled should be drunk up. A sad thing, that there are so many damaged bottles out there. Given this bottle, I would assume, that it could hold through for 5 or more years. |

4/5/2024 - stschutz Likes this wine: 96 pointsAbsolutely gorgeous wine. Refined, impeccable balance, layered with soft textures of rounded out tannins, luscious black fruit and a long finish. Drinking this wine felt like drinking the softest, smoothest piece of finely- grained sand paper, the sands representing different smooth textures in the mouthfeel. Gidon and Heekyung were blown away by this wine tonight. Paired with grilled Korean beef and marinated pork at the steakhouse. |
