Wine Advocate #122(4/1999)Rating: 87points Drink: 2003-2015
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. –Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 85
Slightly earthy, with meat and blackberry character. Medium-bodied, with light tannins and a simple finish. Fading. I have had this many times recently and it's on the way down. A little disappointing. Drink now. 22,000 cases made. –JS
