Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley April 2008 Hard to judge right now. Shows a little SO2 on the nose, but this taster can find some blackberry and licorice in there as well. Needs time to come together. Real hard to judge at this stage, but I suspect it will be pretty good in the end.

About 2007 Cantemerle Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Cantemerle Lining a majestic courtyard, its beautiful neo-Classical architecture bears witness to the high esteem in which wine has been held by the successive owners of Cantemerle. These lovely buildings, in perfect harmony with the rest of the estate, nonetheless contain state-of-the-art technology. They are home to three temperature-controlled vats with a total capacity of 8500 hl, a wooden vat of 4000 hl for old vines, a 2500-hl stainless steel vat mainly used for young vines, and a 2500-hl cement vat used for blending. The adjoining cellars ,all air-conditioned, are home to 2000 barrels.
About the Wine 22,000 cases made. Quality at this property has been rising dramatically over the last
several vintages. Cantemerle will never be a blockbuster claret, but
rather one built on finesse and elegance.
