Tasting notes & score:
“Savoury and appetising nose. Rich and flattering fruity palate. Still very youthful.”
“This is a good Cambon in 2016 which has benefited from vineyard replanting as well as other investments. Vines are located close to Du Tertre and you can fell the start of a Margaux-tinged florality and classicism. The tannins close in on the finish and the fruits are dark, tight and vibrant. The best wine for years. Hubert de Boüard is the consultant. Drink 2023-2038.”
