A deep red wine with a purple hue, showcasing vibrant black plum, cassis, raspberry, and fig aromas, complemented by notes of fine leather, ginger, and soft vanilla oak. The palate is full-bodied with balanced tannins, offering layers of blackberry, mocha, and plum, leading to an elegant, supple finish. Its poise and fresh character make it approachable now, with the potential for further evolution in the bottle.

Description

The wine shows deep red in colour and is marked by its beautiful Cabernet character with fresh and lush rich notes of black plums, cassis, raspberry, figs, and fine leather with hints of ginger, spice and soft vanillary new oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm but carefully weighted tannins on the entry that become more defined as the wine lingers in the mouth, with dense savoury characters leading towards a rounded, supple, blackberry, mocha and plum finish that displays good restraint and poise. It is a delicious and pleasing wine with a firm satisfying freshness, forward in style, but with fine soft tannins and an easy aromatic evolution that spreads neatly right across the palate.

Food pairing: Perfect with roast duck, lamb chops, or earthy mushroom risotto.

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 89

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Petit Cantenac has pretty, open-knit scents of kirsch, black raspberries and boysenberries with touches of bouquet garni, dusty soil and black olives. Medium-bodied, the palate has plenty of lively black and red fruits with invigorating herbal accents and an earthy undercurrent coming through on the chewy finish. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 12/06/2020]
