Anmeldelser af Chateau Cantin Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2022

95/100 James Suckling
"This is intense and layered, with ripe dark berries, cedar, cooking spices and hints of licorice and wet stones. Full-bodied, broad and structured, with impressive depth and fruit concentration. Tannins are ripe and well integrated and run the whole length of the wine, leading to a structured, tightly wound finish. Long and persistent."

"Top Vintage"

93-94/100 Vert de Vin
"A fragrant and delicate nose, which first expresses floral notes of fresh rose, violet and cherry blossom, associated with a fresh and gourmet fruity bouquet. It reveals notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, elderberry, red cherry and morello cherry, complemented by a subtle spicy (vanilla, nutmeg) and roasted (roasted hazelnut in the background) touch, as well as a hint of peppermint and bitter cocoa. On the palate, the wine expresses a round, greedy and ample attack and a firm mid-palate, carried by a fairly powerful and dry tannic structure, but with a fine texture. The flavors are ripe, with a hint of sweetness. We find notes of morello cherry, blackberry, black plum, blackcurrant, crème de cassis, redcurrant jam and crushed strawberry, accompanied by touches of vanilla, cinnamon, mint chocolate and rose. . Density and richness on the palate are balanced by a good level of acidity. Nice persistence and concentration."

93/100 Markus Del Monego
"Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Rich nose with ripe blackberries, mulberries and elderberries, distinct spiciness, fine toasting, dark chocolate and hints of coffee. On the palate rich with freshness, quite elegant character with ripe tannins and juicy fruit, discreet spiciness in the finish. Very good length."

92-94/100 The Wine Cellar Insider
"Lush, creamy, soft and polished with layers of plums, cherries, licorice, and chocolate. The finish is long, elegant and packed with layers of sweet, ripe, dark fruits and freshness. Drink from 2026-2040."

92/100 Decanter
"Ripe perfume and floral scents on the nose, smells quite potent and richly concentrated. Smooth and juicy, this is really lively, much more acidity on the palate than you think you'll get from the nose. Still a bit tight and tense with the bold, firm tannins making the impact and coating the mouth. Soft touches of wood spice, liquorice and clove give the edges while the fruit is persistent from start to finish with mouthwatering acidity and salty touches too. Bold and oaky but good promise. 3.5pH. HVE3 certified. Ageing 12 months in French oak, 50% new, 50% one wine barrels. Julien Viaud consultant."
