Chateau Cambon la Pelouse 2018

- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: „Richly textured, attractive floral aromatics give a whisp and a curl of roses and smoke out of the glass. Floral perfume through the palate also, but it's the fruits that dominate in the end - blackberry and cassis, with touches of bitter chocolate to finish things off. Polished and enjoyable, and speaks to its location close to Margaux. A yield of 45hl/ha. 35% new oak. 3.74pH. Hubert de Boüard consults.“

- 90-92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: „Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cambon la Pelouse is scented of cedar, tar and earth with a core of warm plums and cassis with mocha and lavender hints. The palate is full-bodied, firm and laden with fruit, supported by grainy tannins and finishing long.“

- 92 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dezente Eichenwürze im Bukett, reife Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Nougat und Kräuter. Kraftvoll, schokoladig, engmaschig, reife Zwetschken, würzige Tannine, zeigt Länge, verfügt über Reifepotenzial.“

- 90 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Black currant, ash, black-olive and dried-herb aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with powdery, fine-grained tannins. Drink or hold.“

- VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „Cambon La Pelouse is gorgeous in 2018. Plian, creamy and enveloping, the 2018 is already quite delicious, even in the early going. Sweet red cherry jam, mocha, licorice and spice build as this super-expressive Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois shows off ist alluring personality. In 2018 Cambon La Pelouse offers tons of appeal. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.“

- 90 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, James Molesworth: „Alluring tobacco and dark tea notes lead the way while a caressing set of cassis and black cherry purée flavors follow closely. Cedar echo on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2025. 19,165 cases made.“
