Big signature oaky nose. The charred toast is joined by sweet dark fruit on the palate. Lots of weight but the acidity is evident and adds freshness. Fine tannins bring up the rear. Very enjoyable and comforting. Drinking range: 2023 - 2033 L&S (Apr 2019)

The 2018 Domaine de Cambes has a very perfumed and quite floral bouquet of violet-infused black cherries and boysenberry fruit. The aromas seem to envelop the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of bitter cherry on the entry, and overtly spicy with cracked black pepper and sage toward the finish. This Bordeaux AC from the Mitjavile family deserves 12–18 months to fully coalesce. Drinking range: 2023 - 2029 Rating: 88 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Mar 2021)
The 2018 Domaine des Cambes is fabulous. Inky dark red fruit, chocolate, mocha, spice, new leather and menthol hit the palate. Succulent and so alluring, Domaine de Cambes has so much to offer. Plush fruit and silky contours build into the deep, resonant finish. All the elements are so impeccably balanced. Drinking range: 2023 - 2033 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Mar 2021)
The 2018 Domaine De Cambes offers more black fruits and smoked earth, with hints of tobacco and chocolate. It's layered, beautifully ripe, and has plenty of mid-palate oomph. It’s another sexy release from François Mitjavile that’s well worth seeking out. Rating: 91-93 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (May 2019)
