The 2019 Cantenac offers pleasant brambly red fruit on the nose, hints of loam and tobacco coming through with time. The palate is fresh on the entry, a little old school with tertiary/undergrowth notes, but it wears its heart on its sleeve and is delicious. Looking for traditional Saint-Émilion? Step this way. 90-92 pts Neal Martin (Vinous).
