One of my favorite properties in Bordeaux--for value. Lots of wine for a good price. Phillip Drambrine was a master blender, and he brought Cantemerle back to its fabulous years (1940s-to 1980s). Last month I served the mindblowing 1949 to my zodiac group who really know old wine-they were blown away by it. A very ripe and sexy bouquet with ample black cherry and blueberry scents that burst from the glass, some dark chocolate and clove. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that impart a fleshier mouthfeel compared to previous vintages. It works well because there is still ample structure underneath and cunningly disguised. Smooth as silk on the finish, this is simply a delicious wine-kind of a blend of 2009 and 2010. Bravo. WE will miss Mr Drambrine-retired.
