Clos Cantenac SCEA

This is still developing but promises much. Complex aromas of crushed blackberry, blueberry, liquorice, sawdust, and iodine. On the full-bodied palate, the acidity is barely noticeable - quite an achievement in 2021! Instead, there is a wealth lush black cherry and plum. The tannins are a high point, robust and with a wonderfully dusty character. Although the oak is just a little exposed at the moment, it will integrate with time. All the flavours sustain and move towards a very impressive coda. Bravo! 2028-2035–MP
