A prototypical Médoc wine with very good depth and beautiful harmony. I love the long, moderately dry and savory finish that pulls your hand instinctively back to the glass. A blend of 50 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 50 per cent merlot. Drink or hold.

This is a vintage where the freshness levels run high, and here a rich array of dark tight fruits is joined by high acidity with menthol and eucalyptus notes. It's good quality, but needs to settle into its stride, and fatten up a little further in bottle. There has been pyrazine in the past at Camensac, and they are doing a lot of work with the vines to reduce that - this 2016 has clearly shifted from green pepper to eucalyptus, which gives good Médoc typicity while retaining fruit character. A successful wine. Read more at https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/france/bordeaux/chateau-camensac-haut-medoc-5eme-cru-classe-2016-11032#1MWxhTef6rAY4orZ.99

(91+ points) The 2016 Camensac has turned out brilliantly, revealing aromas of dark berries, violets, rose petals, baking chocolate and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's a layered, impressively concentrated wine with lively acids and a perfumed finish. I'm sure Camensac will hit higher highs in the future, but for now, this is a benchmark vintage for the estate. - William Kelley
