Cantemerle 1982 is a classic Bordeaux from the Haut-Médoc region, embodying the characteristics of this renowned Fifth Growth estate. The 1982 vintage, often cited as exceptional, benefitted from a hot summer that yielded deeply concentrated wines. This half-bottle format enhances the maturing process, revealing a profile that showcases evolved notes of cassis, black cherry, earth, tobacco and cedar.
90 Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Lovely, perfumed aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, mocha, cedar and tobacco. Silky-sweet and classy, with excellent vinosity and grip. This wine has put on weight since the last time I tried it a few years ago. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent. An excellent showing.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2002
15.5 Jancis Robinson
Quite pale rim. Deeply scented. Nutty notes. Fragrant and sweet, then chewy with quite tough tannins. (JR)
