The 2019 Roc de Cambes has come together beautifully since I tasted it en primeur. The balance of dark red cherry/plum fruit and blood orange is so intriguing. The 2019 bristles with energy, much of it surely attributable to the 20% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend.Inc. VAT£109.60 -

The 2022 Roc De Cambes is brilliant and just another richly textured, concentrated, impressive wine from the team at Tertre Roteboeuf.

Quite pale. Very rich and well contained. He is so lucky to get this much grand cru fruit! The merest hint of cocoa powder but basically this is a very attractive, if fairly lightweight, Chambertin. I suspect it is not good value. It’s not that long.Inc. VAT£271.73 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94-97)
Medium red, a bit less deep than the Clos de Beze. Medicinal raspberry, red cherry, flowers, crushed stone and a minty nuance on the nose; quite ethereal and perfumed, with little sign of the gamey, earthy side of this great grand cru. At once velvety and sharply etched, combining penetrating sweetness with terrific grip. Finishes with outstanding palate-staining perfume, a suggestion of menthol and noble tannins. Wonderfully delicate and light on its feet for all its power.Inc. VAT£1,487.89 -

Deep red-ruby. Captivating, high-pitched nose offers blackberry, rose petal, curry powder and white pepper, with sexy oak in the background. Silky on entry, then pungent and penetrating in the mid-palate, with superb intensity and clarity to the flavors of raspberry, minerals, rose petal, licorice and spices. This boasts marvelous inner-mouth floral perfume, with a saline, iodiney quality adding another element of complexity on the brisk, palate-staining. High class!Inc. VAT£297.72 -
(6x75cl) 2019Jancis Robinson (18.5)
Barrel sample. Mid cherry red. Sweet oak spice dominates the nose at first but with aeration the red fruit soars from the glass. Utterly seductive. Rich but dry on the palate, a lovely counterbalance between the fresh, vibrant fruit and the dry, tannic finesse. Scented on the palate, where the oak seems to disappear. Gorgeous.Inc. VAT£2,195.52
