A whiff of oak. Really nice and elegant juice here. The tannins grip at the end.

This is a classy, dense, full-bodied Cantemerle with good length and depth. There is a wonderful richness of flavours in the middle and lovely aromatics. Surprisingly good concentration and depth in a wine from Haut Medoc. asianpalate.com
Finely expressed, deep but lifted and potentially complex fruit, refreshing acidity and firmness to add length to its habitual charm. Drink 2017-26. Steven Spurrier, decanter.com
Tasted twice with consistent notes the Cantemerle 2010 has a tertiary bouquet with ripe blackberry, plum and citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied with a citrus thread lending fine freshness and vitality. There is a little hardness to the tannins but this should soften by the time of bottling. Good tension here. This is a sterling effort from Cantemerle. Tasted April 2011. Neal Martin erobertparker.com
