Chateau Picque Caillou 2016 75cl Dow's once in a whileTasting Note: One of those properties that has been quietly putting out excellent quality vintages for the past few years, and they do not drop the pace here. It is a little on the closed side right now, but the grilled black fruits and raspberry and charcoal tinged minerality is clear. This is going to provide some excellent medium term drinking. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 12 months in 30% new oak. 91 points
