Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes As I indicated last year, quality has improved dramatically at this estate, and the 2006 is a quintessentially elegant Bordeaux displaying a dark ruby/purple color, a lovely bouquet of forest floor, sweet cherries, cranberries, and black currants, medium body, a textured, sweet, tannic mouthfeel, and a long finish.… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes Cantemerle??s new proprietors believe in producing delicate, beautifully wrought, finesse-styled wines that require some introspection. The deep ruby-hued 2005 displays aromas of licorice, roasted herbs, sweet cherries, and flowers. In the mouth, the wine seems almost light in comparison to its peers, but it possesses an ethereal seriousness,… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes Tart acids are accompanied by hints of cranberries, sweet and sour cherries, flowers, and wet rocks. Medium-bodied, vibrant, zesty, and light, this finesse-styled wine can be consumed over the next 7-10 years.(Wine Advocate #171 Jun 2007) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 85 Tasting Notes This is a competent but uninspiring effort. Aromas of figs, plums, and black cherries emerge from this straightforward, soft, medium-bodied, simple, one-dimensional offering. Drink it over the next decade.(Wine Advocate #164 Apr 2006) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 81 Tasting Notes This is a pinched, superficial style of claret with notes of plums and sweet and sour cherries in a medium-bodied, rather dry, angular style. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes Medium dark ruby-colored, with an elegant perfume of raisins, red currants, dried herbs, and melted licorice, Cantemerle??s 2001 possesses sweet tannin, medium body, and a light but nicely etched style. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.(Wine Advocate #153 Jun 2004) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes This fully mature, elegant 2000 tails off slightly in the finish. Notes of forest floor, bay leaf, licorice, red currants, and cranberries are offered in a Burgundian-like, fresh, vibrant format. The tannins have melted away in this medium-bodied, finesse-styled effort. Consume it over the next 7-8 years.(Wine Advocate… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 79 Tasting Notes This herbaceous, light to medium-bodied wine is cleanly made but has no substance or depth. In addition, the finish is attenuated. It is a disappointment. Drink it over the first decade of life.(Wine Advocate #140 Apr 2002) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 84 Tasting Notes Dark ruby-colored with a purple edge, this slightly herbaceous, medium-bodied, light-styled 1998 offers attractive aromas and flavors, but it lacks depth and length. Drink it over the next 7-10 years. (Wine Advocate #134 Apr 2001) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker (85-86) Tasting Notes The tasty 1997 is a light to medium-bodied, round, richly fruity wine with low acidity and little structure and tannin. Offering an attractive display of red fruits, minerals, and spice, it should drink well during its first decade of life.(Wine Advocate #122 Apr 1999) By Robert Parker
