Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2013 in 6er Holzkiste

Parker: Ten years after the vintage, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape is drinking well. Truffle and mushroom-like notes accent cherry fruit, providing ample complexity on the nose—perhaps about at its apogee, although it should continue to drink well for several more years. Produced from tiny yields of just 13 hectoliters per hectare, it's intense and concentrated, finishing long and crisp, with hints of cranberry lingering on the finish. Drink Date: 2018 - 2030. 93/100

Galloni: Brilliant ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red berries, incense, garrigue and smoky minerals convey a sexy Asian spice nuance in the background. Supple, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering intense black raspberry and floral pastille flavors that stain the palate. Smooth, seamless and concentrated but energetic as well, with velvety, slow-building tannins giving shape to a very long, spice- and mineral-accented finish. 93/100
