Familiar nose of toasty oak. The juice has a more serious edge to it than the Domaine de Cambes. Less sweet fruit. More structure and poise. It has body and freshness. Really good. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 L&S (Apr 2019)

Concentrated, with baked spice, fragrant cumin and bay leaf, plenty of black fruits, with the blanket of freshness that Mitjavile does so well, the push and pull of intensely ripe fruits and intensely fragrant spices and mint leaf. I love these Roc de Cambes with their Cabernet lick on the finish. This is not a vintage that I typiclly enjoy, and yet this manages to thoroughly convince - a trace of heat on the finish, well drawn out tannins and a freshness that balances things out. Voluptuous but with energy. Rating: 94 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (Nov 2023)
The 2018 Roc de Cambes has a generous bouquet of black cherries, warm embers, roasted chestnuts and light truffle scents that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine bead of acidity and gentle grip. I appreciate the harmony of this Roc de Cambes, though it needs some bottle age to rein the oak on the finish. Very fine. Drinking range: 2024 - 2036 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Mar 2021)
Just as it was in barrel, the 2018 Roc de Cambes is a potent, brooding wine with huge tannins and a real sense of gravitas. Readers should be in no rush here. Black fruit, chocolate, new oak, gravel, smoke, licorice and grilled herbs all power through. Quite frankly, Roc de Cambes takes the Côtes de Bourg to a whole new level. Drinking range: 2026 - 2038 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Mar 2021)
