Chateau Tour Caillet is a 60 ha Génissac (Gironde-Bordeaux) winery whose proprietor Mr Denis Lecourt is highly confident on the long-term cellaring qualities of this wine, made using Merlot (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) grapes.
This is a well balanced wine with evolving ripe blackberry and spice characters.
It also exhibits succulent fruit flavours with fair tannins, warm, peppery with an harmonious finish.
This Bordeaux wine is the sort of stuff discerning Frogs and Poms drink nightly.
Displaying terrific earthy, cedary, plummy, cigar-box characters and flavour-filled, creamy textured, its fullish body is well supported by a firm acid/tannin balance.
Delivering heaps of personality and genuine vinosity, it's what good, honest (not so) ordinary claret is all about" Paul White-The Dominion Post- 23/8/03
