Caillou

CaillouA sleeper of the vintage. No tasting note given.

It is amazing that such high quality sources have not already been plucked by Australia’s giant wine corporations

this is notably more elegant with attractive notes of violets

While there is still a moderate amount of unresolved tannins remaining

which balances the opulence of 1990 mature Pinot opulence

have big shoes to fill

indeed it’s quite sophisticated

A deft application of wood still allows free reign to the earthy and spicy red berry fruit aromas that complement the rich

Overall this is fantastic and should effortlessly reward longer-term cellaring yet be approachable after only 5 or so years

with 30% of the base wine fermented in oak

delicious and well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess even better depth and persistence

persistent and well-balanced finale

wood and sauvage hints
