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, with 10% in barrels. It has elegant notes of black fruit, violet, and wild herbs that complement a round, nicely concentrated (especially for this vintage) and balanced palate. In a vintage where most producers struggled to soften the tannins, this estate has succeeded admirably." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Jeb Dunnuck)

Aroma of black fruits. Supple and fairly long on the palate. A techno wine with a charming side.

I was expecting a wine with more body. At €13.50, I'm a little disappointed.
