Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Gold Medal winner at the 2011 Concours Général Agricole in Paris. Family-owned and - operated, Château Haut-Canteloup has been producing wines for four generations. This offers rich fruit aromas, with plum and blueberry most noticeable. Nice wood and leather notes fill out the nose. The palate is dry, fresh and chewy, with medium tannins. A big and ripe wine with plenty of fruit and a very nice length. A wine that will reward 2-4 years in the cellar, but can be enjoyed tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
