Cantemerle 2018

Cantemerle – Haut-Médoc, 5ème Cru Classé

• James Suckling – (94 – 95)

A rich and layered young Bordeaux with a solid center palate of ripe fruit and coated with ripe and polished tannins. Tightly wound ball now. Pretty texture and length to this.

• Decanter – Jane Anson (92)

There’s an enjoyable texture and plush fruit in this elegant, well balanced wine. It has precise aromatics of black pepper, liquorice and freshly cut herbs. It’s good but a touch more restrained than most of its peers. 33hl/ha. Aged in 40% new oak. 6% Petit Verdot makes up the blend.
