2013 CLOS Du CAILLOU "TRADITION" Châteauneuf-du-Pape From Vinous, "Bright violet color. Fresh red berries and Asian spices on the seductively perfumed nose. Sweet, seamless and expansive, with notes of candied flowers and white pepper emerging with air. In a graceful, fruit-driven style, showing excellent finishing clarity and no obvious tannins." 90-92 Points From Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, "There's no Les Safres release in the vintage, and all of the grapes were blended into the straight 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape. A beautiful wine, with solid ripeness and depth in its black raspberry, crushed berries, liquid violets and licorice aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with an elegant, medium-bodied profile. The acidity is nicely integrated here, and the tannin is nicely managed as well. It should drink nicely on release and have 8-10 years of longevity." 89-91 Points
