Tasting Notes
Vinous 91
The 2021 Cantemerle is floral, lifted and very pretty. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, spice, mocha and licorice take shape in a wine that impresses with its delineated, persistent personality. All the elements are nicely balanced. There is a bit of tightness on the finish, but overall, this is nicely done.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2031
Robert Parker 90-91
The 2021 Cantemerle is a very strong effort in a challenging year, offering up aromas of blackcurrants and plums mingled with hints of spice box, black truffle and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, it’s supple and succulent, with a generous core of fruit and a saline finish. It’s sure to number among the sleepers of the vintage.
