Description
With its superbly deep color, the wine has the grand style of anelegant evening gown. The aromas are equally graceful: partlywoody, partly spicy, but still young and far from fully developed. Inthe mouth, the wine shows the classic personality of superblyquintessential Cabernets from a great Médoc terroir: exotic woodcharacter with licorice, and pepper flavors, and a touch of red fruit.The wine’s structure displays reserve and complexity, with a well temperedrichness and great length. You can begin to enjoy thewine’s charm and elegance after decanting one hour before serving. Itrepresents a perfect model of elegance, balance, and the fine flavorstypical of Cantemerle’s greatest wines.
94 POINTS: WINE ENTHUSIAST – A well-constructed wine that is ripe with black fruits and integrated tannins, this is in a good place for aging. Black-currant fruitiness is balanced by a dry, smoky core that holds promise. Editors’ Choice
93 POINTS: JAMES SUCKLING – Rich aromas of blackberries, dried currants, chocolate, walnuts and tile on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Polished and structured with a nice core of black fruit. Give it at least a couple of years of bottle age. Lovely balance to it.
