Les Allées de Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend

2019 vintage. Cantemerle is very reliable, and so is the second wine. Great value, and a good, more simple introduction to the grand vin.

2019 vintage. It seems that you cannot go wrong with Cantemerle. This second wine is a delicious, simple and mature Haut-Médoc. Terrific value. Outperforms the Mauvezin Saint-Emilion grand cru 2019 tasted alongside. ABV. 13%.

Dark fruits, graphite, round and sticky. Classic, but missing a little depth.

This is quite a deal. $17??
The nose on this wine is deceptive. Spicy and savory. In the mouth, however, it is very light and supple. Fruit forward (strawberry and plum) with some violet. Very round edges, almost completely integrated tannins at 6 years young. Way too easy to drink. I wouldn't sit on this for much longer than 3 years.
Listening to Dolly Parton. Prolific (and I share her birthday)

90, muddy, bruised fruit, no spine, light nose, weak finish
