Description
With its very intense garnet-red color, Cantemerle 2015 offers us a nose with a seductive, complex bouquet. Ripe black fruits like cherry and prune dominate a more subtle empyreumatic dimension. On the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated with a velvety texture. A supple attack is followed by a crescendo of power, ending with tannins that are present but perfectly integrated. The fruit flavors unfold superbly, offering a sensation of greed and generosity. The slight acidity present on the finish contributes to the balance of this nectar.
