Merchant's description
Cante Merle 1996 is a full-bodied Haut-Médoc Bordeaux from the particularly favourable 1996 Left Bank vintage. It is characterised by a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherries and hints of earthy undertones. The palate reveals a robust structure with layers of dark fruit, a slight minerality and a touch of spice, underscored by integrated tannins. This wine displays a notable depth, leading to a finish that lingers with a hint of savoury notes.
