Clos du Caillou Chateaneuf du Pape Les Quartz 2016 (1.5L Magnum)  - First Bottle

Reviews

98 Jeb Dunnuck -
One of the best vintages ever for this cuvée, the 2016 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Quartz boasts knockout aromas of cassis and blackberry fruits intermixed with loads of garrigue, ground pepper, earth, and licorice. It’s full-bodied and powerful, while staying light, weightless, and flawlessly balanced on the palate. It will probably merit a trip digit rating in 4-5 years and should evolve for over two decades.
97 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and velvety, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz is a complete thoroughbred. A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, it offers up stunning aromas of crushed stones, tea roses, black cherries and licorice. A powerhouse, loaded with extract, it finishes long and intense, picking up hints of chocolate and star anise. It appears capable of evolving for a couple of stunning decades.
