Château Cantemerle 2012, Haut-Médoc - Magnums

£79.95 per magnum

A great Bordeaux wine from the Haut-Medoc, Cabernet-sauvignon based 5th growth Château Cantemerle is a wine that everyone should be buying now, drinking perfectly. It will age for another 4-5+ years.

"This red shows some cassis, blueberries and floral notes on the nose. Some tar, too. Medium to full body, juicy tannins and a fruity finish. Enticing wine. Drink now or hold."

92/100

"The Cantemerle has a fine bouquet that demonstrates clarity and lift – graphite infused black fruit, expressive Cabernet fruit to the fore. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, edge tannins and a lovely citric seam that cuts through the mocha-tinged fruit. The oak feels a little heavy-handed at this stage, but it should integrated well and become a fine Cantemerle for the vintage. Tasted April 2013."
