The scores for 2016 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape - Jeb Dunnuck - 100, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider - 100. The rating for 2016 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape is 100 points from Jeb Dunnuck and the tasting note - Another perfect wine from this brilliant estate is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which matches the otherworldly 2007. A classic blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah brought up all in old foudre, this beauty's deep purple color is followed by a mammoth bouquet of kirsch liqueur, black currants, blueberries, Asian spices, and garrigue. Full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful, it nevertheless is as graceful as a ballerina on the palate and has ultra-fine tannins, a silky, seamless texture, and a finish that just won't quit. Hats off to vigneron Paul-Vincent Avril!
