Domaine de la Tête Noire - Vacqueyras La Clapière 2013
89-90/100
Robert Parker
"La Clapière 2013 is a traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, made mainly in vats, and 10% in barrels. It presents elegant notes of black fruits, violets and wild herbs, which are matched by a round, nicely concentrated (especially for this vintage) and balanced palate. In a vintage where most struggled to soften the tannins, this estate succeeded admirably." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Jeb Dunnuck)
