Delicious, tropical fruits and florals, great richness and acidity, even a little nutty. Developed nicely 2 hours after opening, lots of layers — a month ago
bone-dry finish mellowed by the ripe-apricot character, plus hints of toast and melted butter. — 10 days ago

I’ve been so eager to open the 2019 Les Cailloux, the first of a case that I bought a couple of years ago following a visit to C9DP during which I first tried the wine. This is an exemplary wine for the region, predominantly old-vine Grenache with around 30% (I think) other varieties, which is both powerful and pure, striking a lovely balance between a modern, terroir-driven style and the natural rusticity of the appellation. I enjoyed this so much I made no notes, so can’t say much more other than that I’m delighted to have a case of this and would recommend it to anyone interested in fresh, pure and ageworthy examples of Châteauneuf. — 5 days ago
Really nice now, but restrained. In 4-5yr this is going knock your socks off. — a month ago
17. As it should be, but not more. Hope next bottle more exciting. — a month ago

Pop and pour. A majestic pale straw color. On the nose: Intense nose of green apple, lemon curd, pear, floral, orange rind. Taste: oily, fresh wine with white peach, apple, lemon, saline, crushed rock, grapefruit. YUM! More time to go, glad to have a few more bottles. — 3 days ago
