Lot #31. Cantemerle 2010

Description: Consists of 6 Magnums, 1.5L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 94+ RP.
"The wine needs a good 7-10 years of cellaring and should keep for 30 more years, but this is the finest Cantemerle I have encountered in my professional career of tasting young vintages (dating back 34 years now). Stunningly deep ruby/purple, with a beautiful nose of spring flowers intermixed with perfumed raspberry and blueberry notes, it exhibits a sort of cool-climate character. Broad, rich and intense on the palate, the wine has plenty of tannins, but they are sweet and well-integrated. Everything is delicately entwined into this beautiful, medium to full-bodied, dense purple wine, which shows stunning character and a prodigious potential for development. This is definitely a major sleeper of the vintage and even better than I thought from barrel." Wine Advocate #205, Feb 2013
Provenance: The Glycine Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $700
