| Tasting Note | The wine displays a sustained and brilliant color of great depth, with all the elegance of an evening gown. The nose has already evolved and shows black currant and other black fruit aromas. On the palate the wine’s tannins are soft and smooth, with a steady balance and a long, fresh finish. Aromas of fruit, tobacco and licorice harmoniously blend with those from the oak, giving rise to flavors which coat the palate without roughness. The overall impression is of a tender and soft wine which has passed through a spirited youth to reveal the elegance typical of Cantemerle’s terroir. Harmony and a certain femininity define this wine which demonstrates this property’s legendary ability to produce vintages which maintain a potential for great finesse at every stage of their evolution. RP 90/100 A beautiful wine of elegance and intensity, this medium-bodied, dark plum/purple-hued 2007 possesses a floral-infused bouquet, sweet, plush, red and black fruit flavors, and an endearing, silky texture. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. WS 85/100 Spices, berry and meat on the nose lead to a medium body, with fine tannins and a light finish. Delicate and friendly.

| Food Match | A pleasure to haunch of venison with cranberries and other game dishes. |
