There is good mid-palate concentration to the velvety and mouth coating flavors that terminate in an oaky and mildly warm but complex finish

chiseled and precise

The succulent weight of papaya fruit levitates over the wine's understated minerality

Roederer also presides—by design as well as due to that vastness—over a mind-bending number of micro-vinifications

Caillou Blanc Talbot other_regions There is good mid-palate concentrationPromises more on the nose than the palate gives at the moment, but seriously good. Wonderfully exotic aromas of pineapple, passion fruit and melon, with hints of vanilla. Medium bodied, with lots of toasted oak flavors and a creamy, fruit aftertaste. Needs more time to develop. Best from 2000 through 2004. JS
