Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

9.4

2020 vintage. Tasted several times with consistent scores. I always recommend this wine to people who start to buy Bordeaux at Cru Classé level. Cantemerle offers unapologetic elegance and great value for money. — 23 days ago

More or less the same aspect as the Pucelles, medium gold in colour . A lot more reserved and younger on the nose , more linear and mineral , seashell, light lemon and some white flowers . This is discreet , at least on the nose , on the palate however this is intense but linear and focused , with a touch of lemon oil , but mostly chalky mineral , seashell notes , long vibrant length . Really fresh and vital though there is good mouthfeel , just a hint of toastiness on the finish . Long and fine , fresh and still young . From now and over the next 5- 10 years . Also a late release from the domaine , with wax capsule and Diam cork. — a month ago

Stubborn and tannic. Fruit integrated and evolved, but will it outlive the bold tannic structure? Dunno. — 13 days ago

Medium dark rubi robe, nose of cedar wood, top soil and asian spices. Does not look the age in any way. Its a great classical claret, very elegant, just lacks some complexity to get a higher score. Top notch for the price point, very civilized and polished tannins for the year.

9.1

Double decant and pour(some fine sediment). A splendid still dark magenta color with bricking. On the nose: Beautiful areomatics of blackberry, cigar box, worn leather, green vegi, bandaid(brett). Taste: savory, elegant, structured wine with some sour cherry, currants, tobacco leaf, charred earth, and a crushef rock-coffee medium finish. Sure, on the downside, but still drinks savory good tonight. — 17 days ago
