Lot #292. Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 99+ WA.
"Mind blowing stuff, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape is most likely the greatest wine ever from this estate. Still inky colored, it has a powerful, slightly backward feel in its crushed rocks, cassis, kirsch, toasted spice, licorice and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. Massively concentrated, thick, rich and textured, it delivers a serious lashing of tannin, yet nevertheless is perfectly balanced, ultra-pure, precise and long. It's the quintessential Clos des Papes and will have 30+ years of longevity. Note, yields were a miniscule 16 hectoliters per hectare, so there's not much of this out there." eRobertParker.com #218, Sep 2015
Provenance: The Cascade Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $400
