Not the team’s I wanted to see, so I’ll just stick to the basics. Went well with some A5 coffee crusted New York Strip, the steak 🥩 is so rich you don’t want to waste it on a fruity wine
The 2010 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. The vineyard is situated on deep gravel deposits in the Macau and Ludon villages of the appellation and has 9,600 vines per hectare.
Vinious 93 The 2010 Cantemerle is vigorous and open on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit with cedar and humidor scents. I admire the focus and detail. The palate is rounded in texture on the entry. This is a plumper, richer, more fruit-driven 2010 with a lush finish on the context of the growing season. You could broach this now, although I would prefer to leave it another three or four years. This is another excellent wine and candidate for most over-performing cru this vintage.

Big and compact but yet to come unfurl and gel. There is a sharp line of acidity, but also a broad palate. Full bodied and long. +2-3 points in 5 years — a month ago
A perennial favourite and always special. Nose and colour only hint at the depth and concentration of pure pinot goodness. Pure red and dark fruit wrapped in a shroud of prominent but fine tannin. Dark and brooding savoury spice. Exceptional length and juicy grip. Very fine — 7 months ago
At about seven years of age this wine feels developed and ready to drink up. Savoury with hints of blood and meat combined with sour berries and rhubarb. — 3 years ago

Smaak: In de mond biedt de wijn een evenwichtige combinatie van rijp steenfruit en citrusvruchten, met een romige textuur en nuances van toast en brioche. De mineraliteit en frisse zuurgraad zorgen voor een levendige en harmonieuze smaakbeleving. 
Afdronk: Een lange, verfrissende afdronk met minerale tonen en een wat amandel. — 2 days ago
