Château Cantemerle 2010 is a medium-to-full-bodied Left Bank Bordeaux from the Fifth Growth Château Cantemerle in the Haut-Médoc. From the exceptional 2010 vintage, this is a critically acclaimed wine from Cantemerle, arguably one of the last century. "The wine needs a good seven-10 years of cellaring and should keep for 30 more years, but this is the finest Cantemerle I have encountered in my professional career of tasting young vintages (dating back 34 years now). Stunningly deep ruby/purple, with a beautiful nose of spring flowers intermixed with perfumed raspberry and blueberry notes, it exhibits a sort of cool-climate character. Broad, rich and intense on the palate, the wine has plenty of tannins, but they are sweet and well-integrated. Everything is delicately entwined into this beautiful, medium to full-bodied, dense purple wine, which shows stunning character and a prodigious potential for development. This is definitely a major sleeper of the vintage and even better than I thought from barrel." Robert Parker, 2013
