Wine Enthusiast, November 2023

(WE 93-95 points) Very close to Margaux, this classed growth estate has produced a dense, rich wine. Its berry flavors are working well with the tannins and core of wood aging to give a solid wine. — Roger Voss

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 red wine, with its deep, ruby-red color, is a true masterpiece that captivates both the eye and the palate. The Cantemerle vineyard, owned by the esteemed Cantemerle winery, has produced a wine that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Upon opening the bottle, you will be greeted by an enticing bouquet of currants, black cherries, flowers, mocha, and spearmint. These aromas create a symphony of scents that dance elegantly in the air. As you take your first sip, you will discover a wine that is supple, refined, and elegant. The fruits are soft, sweet, and fresh, enveloping your palate in a velvety embrace. The supple-textured, sweet cherries and spicy freshness linger on the finish, leaving a lasting impression.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also awarded the wine with 94 points, noting its sweet blackberry aromas, medium to full-bodied structure, and long, mouthwatering finish. James Suckling highlights the balance and flavor of the wine, awarding it 94 points as well. Decanter and Jane Anson both scored the wine with 94 and 93 points respectively, praising its clean and clear profile, succulent fruit, and impressive structure.

The 2022 Cantemerle is a wine that demands attention and admiration. It is a true representation of the Bordeaux region's excellence in winemaking.
