Clos du Caillou "Bouquet des Garrigues" Cotes du Rhone 1998

Light, slightly dull, red.

Moderate intensity nose - game/earth/iron, spicy ketchup, nut.

Broad and mouth-filling, with an acid edge. Spicy ketchup and iron flavors. Still has good mid-palate flesh, but needs drinking (though something tells me this will be better with another day). Increasingly structured as it sits.

$12 on release
