Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 91
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.

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.

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.
