The 2018 Caillou de Talbot Blanc has been bottled since May. It has a stricter and more mineral driven bouquet compared to the 2017, scents of honeysuckle and white peach mixed with almond and hazelnut. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity considering the warmth of the late summer. Orange pith and apricot towards the finish with a tang of stem ginger on the finish. Very fine. (Drink between 2021-2035)
The 2018 Caillou Blanc de Talbot comes bounding out of the glass with bold, tropical scents of fresh pineapples and passion fruit plus hints of lemongrass and ginger. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is ripe and seductive with just enough freshness and a long, tropical finish.
Rich and opulent, with apricot, nectarine, pineapple and a hint of straw. There is a fresh uptick on the finish but this is a textured white. (Drink between 2020-2026)
