"The 2017 Roc de Cambes exudes energy, tension and class. The presence of Cabernet Sauvignon is felt in the wine's aromatic and structural signatures. Black cherry, plum, savory herb, menthol, tobacco, graphite and licorice give the 2017 a rather somber personality. Even so, there is terrific freshness, verve and energy to the 2017, not to mention tons of sheer appeal. The blend is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc."

"The 2017 Roc de Cambes, for a long time we considered changing the blend of Roc de Cambes by pulling up the Cabernet, but in the end we kept it the same blend as it is the character of the wine. This is matured in 100% new oak (although it is impossible to tell.) It has a very clean and pure bouquet, perfumed blackberry and bilberry fruit, a touch of seawater in the background. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannin, notes of mulberry, blackberry, brine and touches of brown spice. Like the Domaine des Cambes there is fine energy in situ and it feels long and full of tension on the classy, quite peppery finish."
