    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This 5th Growth estate is on fine form. 94 points from Mr Parker for their 2010 is proof it were needed that this property makes very good wine. The 2012 is quite floral and perfumed, with stony minerality, a juicy sweet fruit core of cranberries, blueberries and blackcurrant with just a hint of savoury spice. Honest, quite plush and very well made with no over extraction. Restrained and elegant.

    The 2012 Cantemerle has a leafy bouquet with light tobacco notes filtering through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sharp acidity, very fresh, almost tart in style with a piquant finish. There is a little coarseness, though it serves well as a no-frills Haut-Médoc. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
