Wine Spectator Review:
Very pretty and aromatic on the nose, with currant and flowers. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean finish. Score range 88-91.

Other Notes:
The Cantemerle 09 has a well defined, quite pure nose that shows more precision and essence of terroir than the Camensac sampled alongside. A very nice marriage between exuberant ripe, rounded fruit and Bordeaux austerity. The palate is medium-bodied, quite smoky and meaty on the entry, just a hint of leafiness that here lends the wine freshness and vitality. Unashamedly classic in style, but I think they pulled off a lovely, traditional Haut-Medoc here. Excellent. Neal Martin, 91-93 points.
