Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 92
The 2016 Cantemerle has a ripe, juicy bouquet with blackberry, black olive and blueberry fruit, quite floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite high-toned in terms of acidity, sapid, with a welcome briny finish. More-ish and great value. Yes please! Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2042

The 2016 Cantemerle has developed beautifully with elevage. Pliant, silky and exceptionally balanced, the 2016 has the pedigree and complexity to allow for a number of years of very fine drinking. Moreover, the 2016 delivers serious flavor intensity without being at all heavy. Smoke, iron and cedar add character to a Haut-Medoc that has a lot to offer.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2036
