Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Ross Chernin

Blackcurrant, green bell pepper, hints of cedar, super soft and pretty. Maybe fading slightly in texture but flavor profile is beautiful. Having with veal chops.

Matt Perlman

Good foggy night for some claret. This was simple but charming. Tannins fully resolved, lighter texture. Red berries, cassis, cedar, leather, spice, fruit cake.

James Alford

V. delicate. Almost fully tertiary.

Lots of pine resin and vivacity still

Lovely older Bordeaux, from my recollection, this was better 5-10 years ago, nicely mature!!

Andrew Cullimore

Pretty healthy ruby /garnet core and a medium wide garnet rim . On the nose straight from the bottle shows well . Spicy blackcurrant, red plum, cranberry , cedar , touch of iodine and iron filings . Good roundness in the mouth, touch of red plum , blackberry, redcurrant, really good fruit still , slightly cedar, tobacco tinged finish . Nicely rounded ripe tannins , balanced acidity , good length . Drinking at peak at the moment , but can still go on quite a while I would imagine, another 5-10 years perhaps on the basis of this bottle .

Lovely

Andrew Cullimore

Medium garnet , garnet rim . Quite herbal , dark cassis fruits , slightly unclean but the funk seems to blow off . Some dark fruits , lighter bodied . Fills out on the palate though slightly drying on the finish. Nice acidity , tannin quite resolved . Slightly rustic but good length and enjoyable . Tasted blind on 17/08/2022

Wants a coupmebof hours to open, but drinks beautifully. Blackcurrant, tobacco, tannins smoothed nicely

Doug Powers

Absolutely lovely Bordeaux, dark and redfruits, still somewhat primary fruit flavors, soft tannins, drinks beautifully tonight but should hold for another 10 years or more!!
