2005 Château Cantemerle, Cru Classé Haut Médoc
One of the most popular Cru Bourgeois around. Mostly Cabernet, and its usual classic, elegant style supplemented by the plumpness of the 2005 vintage. At peak of drinking, with supple black and red fruit.
"A young, slightly tannic, somewhat austere but well-made, finesse style of Médoc, the 2005 Cantemerle displays a dark ruby/purple color followed by notes of forest floor, underbrush, cedar wood, and raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030."
89pts, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate (tasted June 2015).
