“The opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Clos du Caillou Reserve is layered, ample, and full-bodied. The strongest and most complete wine of this group, it is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah (the latter component is aged in new demimuids). Reminiscent of the brilliant 1999 Clos du Caillou, it is elegant, rich, and full-bodied with intense fruit, crisp acidity, and beautiful length as well as power. Enjoy it over the next 15 or more years.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #173, Oct 2007 91-93 points
