Tasting notes
An earthy, lean, compact, malnourished wine, the 1982 Camensac offers a decent ruby color, but no ripeness, fruit, charm, or character. The tannin dominates its other components - a bad sign. Tasted 3 times since bottling with consistent notes.

About the producer
A stone’s throw from Saint-Julien, Ch. de Camensac was long underperforming, but – under the ownership of the Merlaut-Villars family – was totally restructured, and quality transformed.
