Domaine du Caillou, Chateauneuf du Pape, Les Quartz 2010
96 points Wine Advocate
The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz, which is aged in both foudre and truncated oak vats, comes from two lieux-dits, Les Cassanets for the Grenache and Les Bedines for the Syrah. It reveals crushed raspberry and kirsch notes as well as a chalky stone-like character, but less of the Provencal roasted herb, lavender, and licorice notes than its siblings. Drink this dense, full-bodied, impressive 2010 over the next 15-20 years. (RP) (10/2012)

The 2010 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Quartz is a bigger, richer, more structured wine, and that’s certainly the vintage. Revealing a deep ruby/plum hue as well as powerful notes of dark fruits, black licorice, scorched earth, and hot asphalt, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, and tons of concentrated fruit. It’s just now at the early stages of its prime drink window, and I suspect it will continue drinking nicely for another 10-15 years of more. If you really like your Châteauneuf du Pape mature, give this a few more years. (2/2020)

This is fruit in hyperdrive, with a torrent of crushed blueberry, boysenberry and blackberry flavors rushing along, laced with sweet licorice and fruitcake and driving through the long, very polished finish, where a nice echo of charcoal keeps it honest. Really gorgeous. (JM)(10/2012)
