2019 Domaine de Cambes - Bordeaux AC

WeinWisser – 18,5/20pts - WL: *Tiefes Purpur. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet mit frisch gepflückten Brombeeren, dahinter eine leicht rauchige Note vom Barriqueausbau, Pflaumenkompott und Kirschlikör. Am molligen Gaumen ein Freudenfest, samtige Textur gepaart mit herrlicher Extraktsüsse und kakaoartigem Tannin, ganz leicht stützend. Im gebündelten Finale eine volle Ladung Cassis, dunkle Edelhölzer und Brasiltabak. Ein grandioser, sehr dichter Côte de Bourg, sogar noch besser als im letzten Jahr!* – 04/2020

JancisRobinson.com – 16/20pts – JL: *Fruit pushed to the edge of overripeness but it works. Bright, dark-fruit notes with toasted overlay. Palate sweet, silky and gourmand, bringing a freshness to the finish. Clearly surpasses its appellation status.* - 06/2020

Vinous.com – 93 pts – AG: *The 2019 Domaine des Cambes is bursting at the seams with super-ripe dark cherry, plum, espresso, licorice, menthol and chocolate. This rich, boisterous Blaye is full of energy. There's real depth and energy here, not to mention tons of character. Dried herb, leather, cedar and tobacco linger on the ample, beautifully textured finish.* - 02/2023

Vinous.com – 91 pts – NM: *The 2019 Domaine des Cambes has a tightly wound bouquet that needs more time in the glass, opening to offer black cherries, boysenberry and a touch of wild heather, almost Burgundian in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very well-judged acidity, and flavors of black plum mixed with soy, white pepper and clove that linger on the finish. Very fine.* - 02/2023

Thewinecellarinsider.com – (88-90) pts – JL: *Garnet with a touch of brick in the color, mint with a shot of smoked cherries, the wine is quite earthy in nature, in its fruit and nose and on the palate. Concentrated, round and fruity, you can drink this young or age it for more complexity.* - 06/2020
