Château Caronne Sainte Gemme

5/2/2017 Martin WINE ADVOCATE (NEAL MARTIN) : 89-91 / 100 The 2016 Caronne Ste Gemme has a very attractive nose witih wild strawberry and raspberry scents, cedar and a touch of mint. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, linear and taut but with plenty of freshness and an almost Pauillac-like character on the finish. This is always a well-priced Bordeaux and it is one of the best I have tasted from the estate. This comes recommended. 4/28/2017 Quarin JEAN-MARC QUARIN (JEAN-MARC QUARIN) : 14,5 / 20 Vin fruité, à la bouche agréable, mais simple. 4/25/2017 Decanter.com DECANTER.COM (JANE ANSON) : 91 / 100 This is a beautiful, well-regarded wine offering great consistency, replete with smoky bacon, tar, and coffee bean flavours. It is marked by oak, but sexily and cleverly so, and balanced by intense, deep fruit with impact. A gentleman's claret and one of the great value sleepers of the vintage. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot from deep gravel over clay. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038
