Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Cantemerle 2020 Haut Medoc :
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Cantemerle reveals a great intensity and purity of blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and black raspberry scents, plus hints of dried Provence herbs, Indian spices and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate delivers approachable chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the savory-laced black fruit flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Cantemerle 2020 Haut Medoc Folgendes:
Lots or richness and fruit for this winery, showing blackberry, blackcurrant and dark-chocolate character. It’s full and layered. Well done.
86-88 Punkte für den 2020er Chateau Cantemerle gibt es von der Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni:
The 2020 Cantemerle is tightly wound on the nose, requiring a lot of coaxing to reveal the blackberry, cedar and tobacco scents; a touch of iodine emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black and red fruit, a light licorice touch on the back palate and a solid, slightly monochromatic finish. Hopefully this will develop more personality and race by the time of bottling, but given the potential of this fine estate, I was expecting more.
Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 89-91 Punkten bewertet
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart blättrig unterlegte schwarze Frucht nach Brombeeren und Kirschen, dezente Kräuterwürze, Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, feines rotbeeriges Fruchtkonfit, zarte Süße, feine Tannine, insgesamt eher schlank, aber harmonisch, bereits gut entwickelt.
