Château Roc de Cambes, Côtes de Bourg 2021
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon | 100% new oak | 13.7% alc If Domaine de Cambes is quiet and contemplative, then Roc is more ‘ROCK’. There is smokiness, expressive violets and roses on the nose and superb glossiness in the middle of the palate. There is more of a hillside/warmer/riper feel throughout this wine, bringing a more exotic nature to proceedings. Situated near the Gironde estuary, this is a more humid and foggy site and coupled with the clay soils, it matures late, and the results are often spectacular. The skins are so structured and packed with goodness that they bring depth and grace. The result is a tender 2021 with deep wells of black fruit in its core.

Moderate reduction pushes the fruit to the background though there is by contrast good freshness and vibrancy to the medium weight flavors that conclude in a rustic and mildly edgy finish that is a bit more tightly wound. This is awkward and I suspect that the recent bottling has upset the balance for the moment.
