Pale lemon colored, the 2016 Cantegril delivers musk melon, warm apricots and crème caramel scents with nuances of orange blossoms, allspice and shaved almonds. Satiny textured with plenty of freshness lifting the citrus-laced sweetness, it finishes with great purity.

A smoked-meat note on the nose – intriguing! Medium to full bodied with real lift and sprightliness. Super-clean and fresh. Very attractive even if not a long-distance runner. (JR)
The 2016 Cantegril offers good up-front appeal in its orange peel, tropical fruit and lightly honeyed flavors, but then loses some of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish. As it is, the 2016 is very good, but it could be better, perhaps meaningfully so.
This has a lively ginger note adding energy to the mix of singed almond, creamed peach and warm piecrust flavors. Solid. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com
