91-93 Barrel sample. A big, firm and hard wine, with solid fruits, layers of dry tannin and great power. There's an intensity to this wine with acidity adding to the complexity and structure.$759.00 -
(6x75cl) 2008The Camensac 2008 hails from the revered vineyards of Château Camensac, a distinguished winery on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Nestled within the commune of Saint-Laurent-Médoc, these vineyards enjoy a prime position in the Haut-Médoc appellation. This exceptional vintage is a classical blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aged for a refined 12 months in French oak barrels. Exhibiting a complex palate, Camensac 2008 presents a bounty of ripe cherry and currant notes on a backbone of supple tannins and subtle sensorial undertones of roasted spices, leather, and cedar wood imparted through meticulous barrel ageing. Masterful vinification techniques have crafted an elegant, medium-bodied red wine, evoking a certain vibrancy yet balanced by a well-structured, lingering finish. Truly a testament to the remarkable heritage and craftsmanship of Château Camensac, the Camensac 2008 stands as a timeless choice for lovers of fine Bordeaux wines.

92-94 Barrel sample. Big, ripe, juicy wine, the tannins very solid and dark. It has layers of new wood, power and considerable density.$412.00 -
(12x75cl) 2010Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87)
Bright red-ruby. Medicinal aromas of black cherry, cassis and licorice. Classically dry and cool but with good mid-palate texture and ripeness. The medicinal quality carries through to the persistent finish but the tannins avoid coming off as dry. Very successful for this estate.$627.00 -
(6x75cl) 2012Wine Advocate (86)
Deep ruby/purple with firm tannins and a nice meaty, spiciness, this wine shows slight narrowness and astringency, but it is well-made and certainly above-average. Drink it over the next decade.$265.00 -

Aromas of plum cake and berries with hints of citrus. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Drink in 2019.$343.00 -
James Suckling (92-93)
A tangy and dense red with plum, chocolate and berry character. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows excellent upside. Nice follow-up to the excellent 2015.$448.00 -

The 2018 de Camensac has retained its attractive aromatics, needing just a little coaxing to reveal blackberry, bilberry, light marine scents and those iris petals that I remarked upon out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with good backbone and well-judged acidity. I admire the substance of this de Camensac, and there is wonderful salinity on the finish. This comes recommended and I can see it aging well.$368.00 -

The 2019 de Camensac is more backward on the nose compared to its peers. Gradually unfurls with broody black fruit, mixed with Earl Grey and freshly rolled tobacco scents, tertiary in nature. Conversely the palate is brighter, equipped with a solid backbone and vibrant black fruit. What I appreciate is the slightly brittle texture towards the classically-styled finish. Huge potential for this superb Haut-Médoc.$153.00 -

The 2020 Château de Camensac has an attractive nose with ample red berry fruit, brown spices, cedar and light earthy aromas. The Merlot is very expressive here (47% of the blend). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very well judged acidity. This is classic Haut-Médoc, cool and refined with a saline finish that gets the saliva flowing. One of the best wines from the estate in recent years. Highly recommended.$187.00 -

The 2022 de Camensac is a very serious wine and also a huge overachiever in its peer group. Vertical and explosive in the glass, the 2022 stains the palate with inky dark fruit. Sage, mint, tobacco, incense and licorice are strands in the wine's gorgeous fabric of aromas and flavors. I especially admire the depth, persistence and overall substance here. Superb.$161.00
