2016 CHATEAU CANTEMERLE HAUT-MEDOC 5EME GRAND CRU CLASSE 750ML

Swirling this wine in the glass brings forth a very complex bouquet the hallmark of a great wine. In the mouth the first impression is both powerful and elegant with rich flavors covering the palate. All the usual aromas of this wine—tobacco black currant cloves and a woodiness typical of ripe Cabernet—are present in a subtle register which will become more prominent with time. The tannins are very supple lingering elegantly on the finish. At this stage of its development the wine is characterized by a delicate charm. This promising wine offers a typical illustration of the Cantemerle terroir.
