Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 7, 2021 - 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape 99/100 point wine taste-off (and a couple of pirate Rhone wines): Powerful and a bit edgy, the Cailloux Centenaire shows some cocktail elements that shoot the dark red and black berry fruit into the boozehound arena for now. Surprisingly watery on the finish, diluting the tail and robbing the back end of some needed fruit. Spice elements swoop in to attempt to add some complexity to the profile, but the alcohol comes back and steals the show. Fairly disjoined at the moment. Let this sit for a while in-bottle, as it was one of the more abrasive in the lineup.
