Château Cantemerle 2010 Red (Haut-Médoc)

A great success for this southern Médoc chateau, this is fine, elegant and perfumed. It bursts with a black fruit flavor, balanced by smooth tannins and acidity. It’s a wine for medium-term aging over the next six years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

Château Cantemerle 2005 Barrel sample Red (Haut-Médoc)

Online Exclusive

87-89 Barrel sample. With its rather earthy, rustic aromas, this wine is old-fashioned, showing hard tannins and not much else at this stage. In time, if the fruit appears, this may be a nice wine. — R.V. (6/21/2006)
