Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (85-88)Superb ruby-red color. Spicy berry nose, with notes of cinnamon and coffee: slight suggestions of greenness and alcohol. Supple, soft and smooth. but with more breadth than intensity. Fine, spicy aftertaste, with flavors of coffee and caramel. Should evolve fairly quickly. |

Wine Advocate (87)I had hoped this wine would turn out closer to outstanding, but it is an excellent Cantemerle, if not quite as stunning as I had expected. The wine offers a dark ruby color, and a sweet nose of black raspberries, subtle new oak, and acacia smells. There is fine sweetness and solid tannin in this elegant, symmetrical wine. It is more forward and lighter than it was from cask, but it is a stylish example of Cantemerle. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015. |

James Suckling (94)I like the floral character, which highlights the aromas of currants and berries. Full body and a firm and tight center palate. Silky tannins and a savory and creamy-textured finish. A beautifully balanced red. Try in 2021, but it’s already gorgeous to taste. |

Wine Enthusiast (95)This is another successful vintage from this estate. It is so finely structured that you notice the blackberry fruit more than the tannins, with a seam of crisp acidity throughout. |
