Rating: Laarson & Del Monego 90/100
This pretty Bordeaux comes forward with notes of red fruit, spices and delicate oak. A peppery edge enhances notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry. The attack is lively, followed by a well-structured mouthfeel and a long finish. A very pleasant red!

About the domain :
Located in Mazères, in the Graves appellation, Caillivet is owned by the Carrillo family. In 1997, Philippe and his son Antoine created the vineyard on the family land, 7 hectares planted on clay-gravel soils; the grape varieties used are Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon - complemented by a little Sauvignon and Semillon in the white. The first harvests produced the 2001 vintage.

Not bad, but I've had better Graves.
