Clos du Caillou Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve(2004)

The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is an open-knit, precocious, heady wine with delicious sweet black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with plenty of spice and licorice. It is medium to full-bodied with silky tannin, good freshness, and a layered mouthfeel.

($155) Bright red. Intensely spicy nose offers ripe cherry and blackberry scents and a strong cracked pepper component. This includes 30% mourvedre and 10% syrah, and it shows today. Quite sweet on the palate, with deep dark berry flavors, a chewy texture and powerful tannins carrying through the bright, focused finish. Has the fruit and structure to repay cellaring.
