Cantemerle 1996

Fully mature colour - ruby. Very light nose. Well balanced, mature fruity drink with slightly dusty tannins but a distinct lack of intensity.

A fine effort from Cantemerle, the deep ruby/purple-colored 1996 exhibits an excellent mulberry, jammy cranberry, and currant-scented nose with floral characteristics and high quality vanillin.In the mouth, it reveals rich, sweet, ripe fruit on the attack, fine density, moderate tannin, and obvious balance. It will require 5-6 years of cellaring.
