Château Cantemerle 2016

Plenty of menthol, blackberry and blackcurrant aromas in this elegant, medium-weight Haut-Médoc that’s got as much freshness as ripeness and a long, clean, mineral and herbal finish. An incredibly food-flexible wine! Drink or hold. [Has the potential to evolve into the mid-2030s if not longer.] Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 14, 2019)
