2018 Chateau Camensac 5eme Cru Classe, Haut-Medoc 1x75cl

Antonio Galloni 91

The 2018 Camensac is a racy Haut-Medoc that expresses the natural richness of the vintage beautifully. Super-ripe red cherry, mint, sweet spice and new oak add to the wine’s extroverted personality. Powerful and exquisitely layered, the 2018 has so much to offer. This 2018 is impressive in the early going. Tasted two times. [Antonio Galloni, 10/06/2019]

The 2018 de Camensac has retained its attractive aromatics, needing just a little coaxing to reveal blackberry, bilberry, light marine scents and those iris petals that I remarked upon out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with good backbone and well-judged acidity. I admire the substance of this de Camensac, and there is wonderful salinity on the finish. This comes recommended and I can see it aging well. [Neal Martin, 08/03/2021]

Tasted blind. Slightly dead-looking crimson. Spicy edge to the nose. Sweet and a little tarty. Because of the oak perhaps? Not quite refreshing enough. [19/01/2022]
