Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13.5%

APPEARANCE
Superbly deep ruby color.

NOSE
The 2013 Cantemerle has still an austere, tobacco-tinged, tertiary bouquet, discreet, with aromas of cinnamon, blackberry, fig and wood notes more evident after agitation; decanting will bring out still other aromas.

PALATE
Elegant, with a focus on fresh red and black currant fruit, vibrant acidity, and soft, fine tannins.

AGEING
Ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels (of medium toast) which 40% are new.

PAIRING
This tender vintage produced a tasty wine that is ready to drink despite its youth, with lightly-flavored foods or white meats.
