Tasting Notes
Vinous 90
The 2021 Cantemerle is a powerful, classically built wine. Pipe tobacco, cedar, blood orange and exotic spice all run through its mid-weight frame. The Cabernets are especially evident in this year’s blend. There’s good depth and plenty of character. All the 2021 needs is elevage to pull it all together.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2033
Robert Parker 90-91
The 2021 Cantemerle is a very strong effort in a challenging year, offering up aromas of blackcurrants and plums mingled with hints of spice box, black truffle and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, it’s supple and succulent, with a generous core of fruit and a saline finish. It’s sure to number among the sleepers of the vintage.
