Cháteau Cantin Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2014
Saint Émilion, Libourne, Bordeaux, FranceIt’s a problematic wine world for the “lesser” Bordeaux chateaux facing a great deal of local competition in export markets around the world, but it doesn’t mean they are not up to the task. Case in point this ripe, round, Napa Valley-like Grand Cru St Emilion with ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, and reasonable acidity to entertain you. It has a surprising amount of tannin for a 67/21/12 merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, begging for steak now, but I would age this for another three years in the cellar.Tasted: 11 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $47.99 | 750ml | estimated retail price |
