Description

Appearance
Medium garnet with slight brick-orange edges, showing its age gracefully while retaining a warm, inviting hue.

Nose
Evolved and expressive, with aromas of dried plum, black cherry, and cassis layered with cedar, leather, and hints of earthy tobacco. Subtle notes of forest floor and spice emerge with aeration.

Palate
Medium-bodied with soft, integrated tannins. Red and black fruit flavors dominate, accompanied by savory hints of truffle, mushroom, and gentle tobacco. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively despite its age.

Finish
Long and refined, with lingering notes of dried fruit, cedar, and a subtle mineral-earthiness that adds depth.

Overall Impression
The 1985 Château Le Caillou is a mature, elegant Pomerol—approachable yet complex, ideal for drinking now alongside roast lamb, beef, or mushroom-based dishes. Its evolution showcases the charm of a well-aged Merlot-dominated Bordeaux.
