Notes of blackberry, vanilla and cedar. This is a balanced wine. You can drink it now or wait if you enjoy tertiary notes. Tannins build as you drink. This is a well made wine.

Man, I thought the 2019 Cantemerle was "the best Cantemerle ever...." Until I tried the 2020 Cantemerle! The 2020 Cantemerle is gorgeous, much different styled from the 2019, richer with more upfront fruit. The 2019 is more classic and reserved. They are obviously at different stages of evolution. The 2020 is lush, aromatic, but still very true to its terroir. Like the 2019, it is 13.5% alcohol. Distinctive rich ruby/purple color, violets, I bought 12 more bottles of the 2019 Cantemerle and last night ordered 12 more bottles of the 2020 Cantemerle. I logged the 2019 in at 95 points, I rate this 2020 at 95+.

Fresh, uplifting, pure fruit, and a nice finish. Strong tannins and nice acidic balance make me think this will only get better with age. I don;t have the patience though here in Korea. It's either drink this now or have really bad wine elsewhere. This wine is a serious wine, and we thoroughly enjoyed it over beef, cheese, and salami dessert.

With cote du boeuf at Grand Massif. PnP. Classic profile, good fruit, coolness/freshness. Fine, but didn't feel like a standout.
