2016 vintage. Cantemerle is always a good idea if you want value for money. Like many left bank Bordeaux in this great vintage, it tends to close down a bit, so give it some time in the glass or decant. The nose slowly develops after an hour, with a mix of black and red fruit, classy cedar notes, and flowers. As usual, it's all about elegance, but it doesn't lack power either. Still needs a few more years to reveal all its complexity, but very good already. Ab. 13%. — 19 days ago

Christmas Day. Another wonderful experience with 1989 Bordeaux, this time La Lagune from the Haut-Médoc, a wine that is particularly ageworthy and on this occasion absolutely singing. Fresh, sappy fruit and youthful vigour on the palate, this was a clean, pristine bottle and utterly drinkable – it just about lasted throughout dinner. — a month ago

Really quite good. Drinks well above its price. Fragrant nose. Medium body. Classic. — 25 days ago

If ruby was a wine! Very integrated tannins, dark fruits, cedar, herbs. Great bang for the buck! — a month ago

2015 vintage. Light-medium body (unusual for Pauillac of this age). Raspberry, tobacco and silt in the finishing flavors. Tasted twice previously in the last few years with consistent notes. — 10 hours ago

Good but a little woody and ripe for my preferences. — 19 days ago

Great wine, very approachable and powerful. I had this with a good bolognese but needed a ribeye. Highly recommended — 9 days ago

My go to Bordeaux classic. Small black fruits, tobacco, cigar boxes and the ever present stubborn dusty bitter note. — 25 days ago

Still needs a lot of time 16 years on...maybe it will never reach its 100 point potential. Still an exceptional Bordeaux that improved markedly after 3 hours in the decanter. — 8 days ago

Prodigious stuff—acid is absolutely ripping and the color is the only hint that this is a 15 year old wine. Long, long life ahead — a month ago
