Tawny red, almost opaque. Vibrant nose with rich fruit, earthy soil, herbs de Provence, and dry brush. Great balance of fruit, structure, acidity. Medium plus finish. Great showing.

Mature aromas and flavors, pleasant, ready to drink, but I’ve long suspected that the 1999 and 2000 Les Cailloux CdP I acquired from a certain defunct NorCal shop via grey market imports aren’t the real thing, as both vintages are very light and evolved far too quickly. Oh well, it is at least drinkable.
