Smells attractive, with spicy oak and currant aromas, and is rich and soft on the palate, with smooth tannins and a subtle aftertaste.
The 1988 Cantemerle possesses adequate hard, dry tannins, but unlike many Medocs, there is sufficient fruit. The classy bouquet of black fruits, minerals, and spices is hard to resist. Medium-bodied and elegant, with plummy, mineral, and herb flavors
