Notes | "This beautifully balanced wine is rich and stylish. Classic black-currant flavors enhanced by judicious wood aging have a smoky edge as well as fresh fruitiness and the potential for richness as the wine develops. Drink this wine from 2023." (Wine Enthusiast) "Sweet-tobacco aromas with some red fruit and cherries. Medium body, round and velvety tannins and a delicious, ripe-fruit finish. In balance. Drink after 2022." (James Suckling) | |||
Additional Notes "The outstanding 2016 Château Picque Caillou reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as a classy, medium-bodied, elegant style. Notes of cassis, spring flowers, and graphite, with a touch of minerality, all define the bouquet, and it’s already drinking nicely. Enjoy bottles over the coming decade or so." (Jeb Dunnuck) |
