Wine Critic Reviews
The 2019 Picque Caillou was missing a little fruit intensity on the nose, both bottles a bit sullen and needing more concentration. The palate is better with an attractive grainy texture, fine tannins and especially the finish with its peppery black fruit laced with sea salt. If the aromatics can up their game then it will merit a higher score in bottle.

Tasted from bottle, the 2019 Picque-Caillou exhibits aromas of berry compote, dark chocolate, bay leaf and pipe tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's seamless and polished, its fleshy core of fruit framed by melting tannins and ripe acids. This is an open, giving wine that's drinking well out of the gates.
