Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Medoc 5. Cru Classé 2018 i trækasse

Wine Enthusiast

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

Really well managed wine with impressive balance and integrity

Vert de Vin Magazine

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.

Decanter

There's an enjoyable texture and plush fruit in this elegant, well balanced wine. It has precise aromatics of black pepper, liquorice and freshly cut herbs. It's good but a touch more restrained than most of its peers. 33hl/ha. Aged in 40% new oak. 6% Petit Verdot makes up the blend.

A rich and layered young Bordeaux with a solid center palate of ripe fruit and coated with ripe and polished tannins. Tightly wound ball now. Pretty texture and length to this.
