Chateau Cambon La Pelouse 2015

WEINWISSER: "Sattes Purpur- Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Delikates Bouquet, vielschichtig mit einem herrlich reifen Brombeerton in der Mitte. Der Gaumen zeigt viel Souplesse, reife Tannine und der Körper wirkt lang und geschmeidig. Toll gelungen. Der beste seit 2010."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Close to some of the top Margaux vineyards, this estate regularly produces some fine wines. This bottling is beautifully structured, firm with tannins and also generous with black fruits. A high percentage of Merlot gives a particularly ripe and juicy wine that will age over the medium-term. Drink from 2022."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Big black fruits and a ton of ripe tannins make this a dramatic wine that would be hard not to like. The balance is really good and that makes it delicious right now. If it were a bit more complex it would rate even more highly."

JEB DUNNUCK: "From an estate right on the border of Margaux, the 2015 Chateau Cambon la Pelouse checks in as 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all brought up in 35% new barrels. It has beautiful complexity in its spicy oak, cedarwood, and black raspberry and currant aromas and flavors. These all carry to a medium-bodied red that has a seamless, ultra-fine texture, good concentration, and a great finish. It’s a beautiful, incredibly high-quality wine that’s already drinking brilliantly, yet I suspect it will shine for another decade."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, frische Herzkirschen, zart nach Zwetschken, ein Hauch von Dörrobst, kandierte Orangenzesten, Mittlerer Körper, gute Balance und frische, feine Tannine, rotbeeriger Nachhall, trinkfreudiger Stil, unkomplizierter Speisenbegleiter."
