    Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Picque Caillou rouge is a little herbal to begin, soon giving way to a core of red cherries and raspberry leaves, plus hints of graphite and black olives. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is a little lean and green, with a chewy finish.

    The 2021 Picque Caillou has a fresh strawberry- and blackcurrant-wine-gum-scented nose. Traces of pencil shaving loiter in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with rather dry tannins, a leafy ’21, showing signs of some attenuation toward the finish that feels a bit raw. This is harsh on the aftertaste.
