Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cantemerle is sporting a lot of oak, herbs and tilled soil over a cassis and baked plums core plus pencil lead and chargrill touches. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with nice freshness and good length.

Barley, walnut-shell and blackberry character. Full body. Chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little lean and tight now and needs some time to soften. Better after 2020.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Very toasty oak brings coconut and exotic spice to the nose, somewhat masking the fruit. Cedary barrel notes continue to lead the flavour on the palate. The texture is appealing – bright in acid and fine in tannin – but it is very hard to get past the sweetness of barrel against cool fruit at present. Hopefully this will integrate in time.
