Cinnamon and blackberry juice aromas lead to a wine that is still young and structured. It has a succulent character, black currant and spice flavors from wood aging. Drink this rich wine from 2028.

A dark red, with a mulled edge to its black currant and black cherry fruit, this shows streaks of tar, alder and bay leaf. The long, fine-grained finish is focused, with an iron note lingering at the very end. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2037.

There is a lactic note on the nose, with hints of goat cheese and smoke that don’t dominate. Olives, currants and black cherries as well. Structured and quite chewy on the palate, with a medium to full body at the end. A bit austere at this stage, but should get better in two years.

The 2022 Château Picque Caillou is a pretty, elegant wine based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Ripe black cherries, flowery incense, graphite, and spicy nuances all define the nose, and it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.
