Notes from the producer:
"2005 was a stunning vintage of great sunshine, which produced an atypical Cantemerle. Unexpected aromas of coffee and caramel accompany an opulent presence on the palate; the attack is smooth and impressions of roundness persist through the finish. Still, the wine resists aging, preserving a slight firmness which balances the softness of the super-ripe tannins. This wine can continue to age in a good cellar, but it is already delicious with a cut of roast beef or hearty beef stew."
