Chateau Cantemerle Haut Medoc 2008 佳得美酒莊
This fine wine is tightly-knit, giving it a somewhat austere reputation. The ebony-black color suggests a power and an aromatic opulence which coats the palate. The Cabernets’ density brings a fullness in the mouth that is typical of a vintage made for the long haul, which will age very well especially in magnum. It drinks nicely today, if decanted before serving. Between the massive first impression in the mouth and the lively finish, it has everything to offer for a fine match with a Sunday steak dinner.
