La Clape La Porte du Ciel 2017 Chateau de la Negly

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Despite a massive list of dessert-sounding descriptors—blackberries, vanilla, baking spices, blueberries, licorice—the 2017 La Clape La Porte du Ciel is a dry, savory wine loaded with character. A big, rich, Syrah-based offering that spent two years in new French oak, it's full-bodied and velvety in texture—and surprisingly easy to drink considering its size and power, finishing with an almost saline note and incredible length.
