Quel bel éclat de fruit dans ce bouquet qui est marqué par des notes de baies rouges et noires ainsi que des épices. Attaque juteuse et friande. L’éclat de fruit est également bien souligné en bouche, accompagné d’une agréable douceur et d’une minéralité rafraîchissante. Le vin brille de son énergie, de son acidité et de la finesse de sa puissance. Belle persistance aromatique.  2026-2045

The 2020 Roc de Cambes has a glorious , irresistible bouquet of ravishing dark cherries, blueberry, crushed violets and incense aromas; the oak here is very nicely enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied and finely tuned, displaying supple tannins and a silky texture. There is wonderful harmony and palpable energy toward the finish. This actually challenges Tertre-Rôteboeuf, as if to say, why should you take the gold medal every year? It’s that good.

The 2020 Roc de Cambes opens with a huge bouquet of scorched earth, tar, licorice, gravel and incense. A rich, explosive wine, this is going to need at least a few years to come together, but it is impressive even in the early going. Inky red/purplish berry fruit, spice, leather and floral accents linger on the substantial finish. There is a lot of wine here.

Smoky character on the attack, carefully interplayed with cloves, grilled tobacco, damson and red cherry fruits. Good stuff, nuanced and mouthwatering. Drinking Window 2022 – 2030
