This opened up with some air showing dark cherry, berry fruits with lots of savory spice, forest floor, mineral & violet. Enjoyed this! — a month ago
I’ve been so eager to open the 2019 Les Cailloux, the first of a case that I bought a couple of years ago following a visit to C9DP during which I first tried the wine. This is an exemplary wine for the region, predominantly old-vine Grenache with around 30% (I think) other varieties, which is both powerful and pure, striking a lovely balance between a modern, terroir-driven style and the natural rusticity of the appellation. I enjoyed this so much I made no notes, so can’t say much more other than that I’m delighted to have a case of this and would recommend it to anyone interested in fresh, pure and ageworthy examples of Châteauneuf. — 2 months ago

Well an excellent CA style Merlot tempered and refined by age! The winemaker’s handiwork still detectable? — a month ago
