The Story
A sleeper of the 2000 vintage—a year widely hailed as one of Bordeaux's greatest—the Camensac has matured into a wine of considerable harmony and depth. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Fifth Growth estate spent two decades resolving their tannins into a silky texture. Vanilla, black currant, and licorice aromas open on the nose; the palate reveals excellent structure, purity, and balance. A wine that proves Camensac's standing among Haut-Médoc's finest producers. Ready to drink now, capable of another 5-10 years.
