Château Cantemerle 2018

James Suckling

Rich aromas of blackberries, dried currants, chocolate, walnuts and tile on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Polished and structured with a nice core of black fruit. Give it at least a couple of years of bottle age. Lovely balance to it. Try after 2023.

Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing

VertdeVin

The nose is racy, fruity and offers a fine power and structure. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of red fruits associated with touches of grilled bread, coffee as well as discreet hints of tonka bean. The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced, slightly tight, well-built and offers a small freshness and a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/crunchy small wild red fruits associated with fine touches of violet, chocolate, grilled bread as well as discreet hints of coffee and toasted. Tannins are well-built and very slightly firm.

Wine Enthusiast

A well-constructed wine that is ripe with black fruits and integrated tannins, this is in a good place for aging. Black-currant fruitiness is balanced by a dry, smoky core that holds promise. Drink this wine from 2026
