"Brown color with reddish hints

maybe some warmth though it feels generous rather than overt

A wine that is both mouth-filling yet medium weight with ripe fruited intensity

an Italian variety that we have totally gone mad for

Chateau Cantemerle - Haut Medoc Grand Cru 2017 3L special~cellarcollection "Brown color with reddish hints"Rich plum colour, 20% down on volume due to frost but still delivering plenty of damson fruit on the nose. This feels slick and well extracted, with smoked grilled notes from oak. Dark fruits, extremely polished, not as concentrated as some vintages so no need to wait too long, but this really manages to deliver polished fruit and an overall enjoyable experience. 40% new oak. Drinking Window 2023 2038. 92 Points" Jane Anson, Decanter (November 2019)
