Note di degustazione
The 2001 Caillou is slightly paler in color than its peers. The nose is light at first, offering dried honey, lanolin and light honeysuckle scents, but then opens nicely with aeration. The simple palate is balanced with a viscous opening, perhaps lacking some tension and feeling rather monochrome toward the finish. Surviving rather than evolving.

The bouquet on the Caillou 2001 is missing a little vigor after 13 years, although it unfolds to reveal light honey and beeswax tones. The palate is balanced on the entry with hints of orange peel and marmalade, although it needs more tension and depth on the finish to merit a higher score. Not bad considering there is over a decade on the clock though.
Bright yellow. At once cool and exotic on the nose, with notes of mirabelle, fruit salad and licorice. Fat, generous and sweet, but ultimately more broad than complex. Brightened by a flavor of orange juice. A layered, rich wine with very good material.
