Château Le Caillou 2020 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity and solar. There are notes of roasted cherries, violets and small notes of fairly ripe but fresh cassis, flowers such as lily and lilac associated with a touch of ripe purple plum as well as hints of liquorice stick, bergamot and fine note of mocha. The palate is fruity with freshness and minerality. The wine has a juicy structure that is a bit tight due to its tannic structure. There is energy and a good guideline. There are notes of pulpy cassis, roasted red berries and small notes of blackberries combined with a touch of blue plum, cardamom, mocha as well as slight hints of graphite, toast and hints of toast and sweet blond tobacco. The tannins are elegant, racy and finely powdered. There is a good job on the good bitters, especially with the bitterness of the cocoa.
