Tasting Notes

95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 31 Aug 18
Sourced from the lieu-dit of Les Bédines, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Safres is 95% Grenache, with the remainder being a mix of other permitted varieties. Like the other wines from Le Clos du Caillou, it shows great intensity and purity. Flowering garrigue accents black cherry fruit in this full-bodied, fresh, vibrant and intense wine, which ends with a burst of bright orange zest and waves of silky tannins.
Drinking Date: 2018 - 2030

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jul 18
Vivid ruby-red. Highly perfumed red and blue fruit and floral pastille aromas are complemented by Asian spices and smoky mineral flourishes. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering sweet cherry and raspberry liqueur flavors that become deeper and spicier as the wine opens up. Shows impressive power and breadth on a very long, floral-accented finish shaped by supple, harmonious tannins.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2028

Jancis Robinson Richard Hemming - 10 Oct 17
95% Grenache, 2% Cinsault, 2% Mourvèdre, 1% Vaccarèse. Cask sample. Glossy, succulent red fruit with a smoky scent on the nose and dense tannic chew on the palate. Impressive and sizeable, with slight emerging complexity giving a sort of hard cheese note on the finish. (RH)
