Big and compact but yet to come unfurl and gel. There is a sharp line of acidity, but also a broad palate. Full bodied and long. +2-3 points in 5 years — 18 days ago

For me this is a astonishing wine, this is pure elegance and quality! The winemaker has done a awesome job, this is burgundy style Chardonnay from the highest level! A Lafon nose and great balanced wine! Love it! — 4 years ago

A perennial favourite and always special. Nose and colour only hint at the depth and concentration of pure pinot goodness. Pure red and dark fruit wrapped in a shroud of prominent but fine tannin. Dark and brooding savoury spice. Exceptional length and juicy grip. Very fine — 7 months ago

Not the team’s I wanted to see, so I’ll just stick to the basics. Went well with some A5 coffee crusted New York Strip, the steak 🥩 is so rich you don’t want to waste it on a fruity wine

The 2010 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. The vineyard is situated on deep gravel deposits in the Macau and Ludon villages of the appellation and has 9,600 vines per hectare.

Vinious 93 The 2010 Cantemerle is vigorous and open on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit with cedar and humidor scents. I admire the focus and detail. The palate is rounded in texture on the entry. This is a plumper, richer, more fruit-driven 2010 with a lush finish on the context of the growing season. You could broach this now, although I would prefer to leave it another three or four years. This is another excellent wine and candidate for most over-performing cru this vintage. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. — 3 years ago

Viognier as a winter white is hard to beat - unctuous and full of flavour - apricots and nuts, honey notes, a note of pineapple strangely enough. The palate is medium bodied with medium plus intensity. The following night light to medium intensity. — 6 months ago

At about seven years of age this wine feels developed and ready to drink up. Savoury with hints of blood and meat combined with sour berries and rhubarb. — 3 years ago
