Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
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. Score: 91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2014-2029 01 April 2014 |

This is a traditional, authentic example of Cantemerle’s vineyard as well as its general winemaking style. Elegant and mid-weight with a finesse-filled style, the 2011 exhibits a dark ruby hue with purple nuances in addition to a bouquet of mulberries, cranberries and black cherries intermixed with flowers and forest floor. Medium-bodied and soft as well as crunchy and vibrant, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years. Score: 88 - 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2024 27 April 2012 |

Tasted three times, the Cantemerle has a light fish scale nose with crisp dark black fruit and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, dusty tannins, a core of dusky black fruit and a foursquare, grippy finish that shows fine length. Classic Cantemerle for mid-term drinking. Tasted April 2012. Score: 87 - 89 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 30 April 2012 |

Attractively aromatic southern Medoc fruit, charm and spice from the Merlot, elegant firmness from the Cabernet and overall finesse and balance. Score: 16 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2014-2022 16 April 2012 |

Black core. Black cherry rim. Spicy on the nose, lean and pretty dry on the palate with a sweet vanilla flourish at the end. Score: 15 - 16 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2023 12 April 2012 |

Supple and nicely focused, with currant, plum and cherry notes judiciously toasted, which lets a pretty floral note chime on the finish. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 11 April 2012 |
