Cambon la Pelouse 2015 75cl

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Delikates Bouquet, vielschichtig mit einem herrlich reifen Brombeerenton in der Mitte. Der Gaumen zeigt viel Souplesse, reife Tannine und der Körper wirkt lang und geschmeidig. Toll gelungen. Der beste seit 2010. 18/20 2022 – 2038

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.

Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Cambon la Pelouse has an outgoing, high-toned bouquet with plush blueberry and blackberry fruit, although I would have liked to see more elegance and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, moderate depth, touches of dried herbs, black tea and pencil shavings lacing the black fruit on the finish. It almost belatedly remembers where it comes from! Tasted September 2017.
