My last bottle. It got a sound decanting. the cork was sound and there was a fair amount of sediment in the bottle. The wine smelled, looked, and tasted good immediately upon opening. it benefitted significantly from decanting. It had a great taste of mature, but rich fruit, and modest oak. A very nice, mature Bordeaux. Wish i had more.

Second of two bought at retail. This was open for business from PnP, with well-concentrated, aging black cherry and cassis on the palate, along with some very elegant—and very Cantemerle-like—undergrowth, black truffle, and pipe tobacco on the nose. Great complexity and nuance here, as well as a long, lingering finish.

This was showing about an 80/20 primary-to-tertiary profile and had plenty of unresolved, ripe tannins left and miles to go before it slept. In terms of development, it was way ahead of bottles from my lot of the 2010 and much more satisfying right now. I need a case of this stuff. Even now, in its fifteenth year, it’s only about $55 US per bottle by the case. You’ve got to love the value Cantemerle brings to the table. I’ve not yet discovered its equal in this department. 13% ABV (great; distinctive/****/17/95)

From half btl with perfect cork. Balanced with drying tannins, little fruit, a little better after 2 hour decant.

Better than my 1st bottle. Easy drinking red that feels more basic than it should. Almost too polished and avoidant of any classic Cabernet character. Unsure if this will develop any further.

Classic claret. Black cherry, coffee, tobacco, soil on the nose. Quite bright on the palate, cherries and cassis with a dark chocolate and coffee undercurrent. Medium body, well balanced. Seems to me this has at least 10 more years of quality drinking ahead of it.

It's a good wine, but the pyrazine is so predominant I thought this was a cab franc from Loire. In a good phase now, not too much evolution or tertiary notes but quite envoyable and well balanced. Give it 30 min of air to help it stabilize.

I opened the bottle at 2:00 p.m., decanted it for 1+ hours, and drank it over the next 5. This wine needed the air. It opened with some funk and seemed thin and acidic, but it continued gaining weight. I will open the next bottle 4+ hours before it's time to drink.

The last glass was an excellent aged claret, nothing fancy or profound, just really wonder-aged BDX. More experience indicating that I like even lower cru BDX with 25-30+ years...

Aktuell in einem wunderbaren Trinkfenster; kurz nach dem Öffnen mit komplexer Nase nach Tabak, reifer Cassisfrucht, Zedernholz; weicher Auftakt, zeigt Schmelz und eine reife Frucht, die Tannine sind bereits wunderbar mit der Frucht verwoben, die Säure stützt, im Abgang auf Pflaumen und Kirschen. Sehr hochwertig. Jetzt bis 2038

A cautious 92. PnP, then drank over three nights. Dark red, medium body, quite acidic and tannic. On day 1, it felt a little flat, almost thin. Green peppers dominant. Best on day 2 and perhaps 3, to be enjoyed slowly and sip-by-sip. Spices, earth, some dark fruits emerging. My best guess is that this is too young to drink now. I have 5 more and will wait until 2027 or so, before opening the next one. I am hoping it deserves a higher grade then.

Agree with others that this is likely still in transition, and that it is currently more impressive than delicious. More backbone and class than the 2009. Great balance, it’s all there in the right percentages. And a long finish. If you can, wait for another 3-5 years with this one (maybe more). You’ll be proud of yourself if you do.

Side by side with the 2014 Lanessan. Last year did the same comparison with 2010s, and Lanessan was the winner as Cantemerle came off a little chunky and overdone. This 2014 Cantemerle is in a good place: very fragrant - violets and oak - and beautifully balanced on the palate between cherry and plum fruit, pleasant tannic grip, and fresh acidity. 2014 is really a drinker's vintage, I love it. The oak is a little too much for my taste. Will follow for several days and see how it evolves. On day 2 this is similar, while the Lanessan improved. They are distinctly different, but both delicious: Cantemerle more savory and aromatic (and oakier), Lanessan more about pure fruit.

Whoa this is drinking fantastic at this time. Please give it an hour or so decanting to let the woody aroma dissipate. Then pour yourself a nice sized glass of this beauty. Boysenberry, lavender, camphor and spring flowers explode in the nose. Middle weight in the mouth, toasty French oak, chocolate, tobacco and cherry highlight the finish. Yum!

First bottle of this. Decanted 30-40 minutes but it should have been longer. Seemed very soft and simple at first although quite pleasant, but by the time we finished dinner this was much firmer and the tannins more apparent. Still, I won’t expect this to improve a lot beyond the next couple years. Good red berry fruit, some cedar notes, rather soft and supple fruit. Easy to drink.

Cassis and currant, blue fruit, hints of cedar and cigar tobacco with hint of Bdx. barnyard.
Palate with dark fine ripe fruit, black currant and blueberries, good tannins and structure with fine balance.
This is in its early stage of drinking and will definitely improve from here on.
A really good old-school and very fine balanced Bordeaux.

Reflects the season somewhat-a little four square up front. With a couple of hours decant it opens up a little. Enjoyable honest claret.

Beautifully composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot — aged 12 months in 40% new oak. A cornucopia of ripe fruit—juicy red cherries, sweet dark berries, and plums. So fresh and clean. Spice box, rose, and violet add touches of feminine intrigue and pure elegance. I absolutely love this wine and bought two bottles immediately after tasting it. Ready to drink now but will age gracefully over the next decade or so.
