Château Cantemerle
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Blackcurrant, green bell pepper, hints of cedar, super soft and pretty.
Maybe fading slightly in texture but flavor profile is beautiful.
Having with veal chops.

Good foggy night for some claret. This was simple but charming. Tannins fully resolved, lighter texture. Red berries, cassis, cedar, leather, spice, fruit cake.

Dec 12th, 2020Lovely older Bordeaux, from my recollection, this was better 5-10 years ago, nicely mature!!

Dec 30th, 2023Pretty healthy ruby /garnet core and a medium wide garnet rim . On the nose straight from the bottle shows well . Spicy blackcurrant, red plum, cranberry , cedar , touch of iodine and iron filings . Good roundness in the mouth, touch of red plum , blackberry, redcurrant, really good fruit still , slightly cedar, tobacco tinged finish . Nicely rounded ripe tannins , balanced acidity , good length . Drinking at peak at the moment , but can still go on quite a while I would imagine, another 5-10 years perhaps on the basis of this bottle .

Mar 30th, 2023Medium garnet , garnet rim . Quite herbal , dark cassis fruits , slightly unclean but the funk seems to blow off . Some dark fruits , lighter bodied . Fills out on the palate though slightly drying on the finish. Nice acidity , tannin quite resolved . Slightly rustic but good length and enjoyable . Tasted blind on 17/08/2022
