The 2014 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a gorgeous showing in this vintage, as it opens to lovely aromas of cherries and raspberries joined by exotic spices, floral and minerals. On the palate this is beautifully textured with a gorgeous silky mouthfeel and wonderful overall balance, ending with an elegant, bright finish, leaving behind flavors red fruits and spices. While this shows some appealing characteristics now, it will benefit from some short-term cellaring. (Best 2018-2030) - December, 2016 (JD)
