Tuesday, June 2, 2020 - PnP. Ready to drink. In the nose nice Bordeaux style- dark berries, forest floor and pencil lead. Well integrated oak. I was surprised by its power. It is full bodied with lots of dark berries and (very) soft tannins. I guess, the acidity could become more present in some years. This would give this Cantemerle some freshness. For me, this wine is very nice but pretty simple with lack of layers. Could be from somewhere else than Bordeaux. Will try the second half of the bottle at 18 degrees Celsius.
Update of day2: the cooler drinking temperature gives the wine a bit of freshness. Still lack of structure. Like it anyway and will drink the rest of my case over the next 11 years to see if this wine can improve.
