Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, cedary, quite complex, spicy, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, spicy, intense, dense, very ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, crisp, high acid, sandalwood-cedar finish.

TASTING NOTE: An elegant, successful 2011, Cantemerle has produced a finesse-styled wine with a dense ruby/purple color as well as copious notes of flowers, mulberries, raspberries and blueberries. With dramatic quality and purity, this medium-bodied effort possesses sweet tannins and a texture that builds incrementally. A lighter-styled, but beautifully crafted, well done 2011, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. Drink Date: 2014-2029. Score - 91 (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, April 29, 2014) |
