The unique soil and microclimate are reflected in the wine's personality. Cantemerle has a brilliant color, a powerful bouquet, and a soft, lively flavor. It is rare to find such refined fruitiness. This great wine can be enjoyed young, when it is charming, fruity, and marked by a vanilla taste which comes from well-integrated oak. This makes Cantemerle an ideal choice for the modern wine drinker who likes fresh tannins.

However, it can also age extremely well. Fine, old vintages have impeccable class, with incomparable flavors of sheer elegance. Cantemerle therefore belongs to that rare category of the world's wines which can not only age, but also improve over several decades.

This vintage received a range of reviews from professional reviewers, highlighting its diverse characteristics and potential for aging.

James Suckling awarded this wine a score of 95, praising its "impressive richness and clarity of red and dark berries" and noting its "lightly spiced-pastry aromas." He further described the palate as having a "very crisp, polished and groomed tannin texture, as well as super fresh flavors that carry long." He recommended trying this wine from 2022 onward.

Wine Enthusiast also gave it high marks with a score of 94. They highlighted the wine's "structured tannins and red berry notes," adding that "it is the fruit that sings here, gently supported by the fine, dusty tannins."

Jeb Dunnuck, who rated the wine at 91, described it as "inky colored" with a "terrific bouquet of black currants, smoked herbs, earth, and hints of charcoal." He found it "ripe, concentrated, rounded, and undeniably delicious, with ripe tannin," and suggested it would be enjoyable over the next 10-15 years.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com scored the wine at 93, noting its "soft, refined, fresh" profile with "ample, ripe, polished, cherry and plum notes." He appreciated its "beautiful floral essence" and "silky tannins," and predicted it could become as good or better than the 2010 vintage with age.

Decanter also rated it a 91, pointing out the wine's "good attack of brambles, gooseberry, and raspberry." They mentioned that the “relatively high 6% of Petit Verdot” gives a slight rusticity in the early years, but still deemed it a "lovely wine."

Overall, the 2015 Cantemerle Bordeaux Blend presents a well-rounded profile with structured tannins, rich berry flavors, and significant aging potential, making it a noteworthy selection from the 2015 vintage.
