Description

2005 Château Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc, BordeauxThere is a completeness that is evident in 2005 Clarets, and this is what immediately strikes with 2005 Cantemerle. It has bags of fruit, tannin and acidity, all tied up in an impeccably balanced, polished package. Sweet cassis fruit is accompanied by a spicy edge and a long, fresh lift. This is very pretty now but ideally wants another five years to really get going, and will easily keep for another five after that. Tom Cave, Cellar Plan Manager

This estate is one of the most exciting and progressive estates in Bordeaux
