"You really ought to set aside this much time. Time and attention for the very best of our Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Perfect harmony, achieved only after 10 years of bottle ageing. Dense right down to the tips of your hair." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Castel Campan – an elegant Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the estate's oldest vines, where clay and limestone gravel characterise the terroir. Deep garnet-purple in colour, with aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and earth, complemented by hints of pencil lead and chocolate. Medium-bodied on the palate, well-structured, with firm tannins and lively acidity. Long and polished. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, radiant ruby red. An expressive nose, with notes of fresh wild berries, wet rose petals, a hint of cherry juice, followed by hibiscus, and an elegant, subtle spiciness on the finish. On the palate, it is refined and expressive, with lovely fruit supported by tightly woven tannins; salty, juicy, with a delicately floral, harmonious finish." Falstaff

"Made from the estate's oldest Merlot vines, planted in one of the region's warmest spots, and Cabernet Franc grown on clay, limestone and gravel, this produces a smooth, intense and structured red wine with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, pomegranate and a hint of medicinal notes, accompanied by an earthy, chocolatey palate full of salty black fruits and sweet red berries. It finishes with a lovely herbal cassis aroma, elegant and intense." Decanter

"The 2020 Castel Campan opens with peppery floral and herbal notes, hints of camphor and dried blackberries. This flows across the palate with silky textures and ripe red and blue fruits, underscored by tactile mineral notes. The lively acidity provides a fantastic balance. It is spicy and tannic, yet the 2020 finishes with surprising freshness, leaving a gentle tension and a lingering hint of wild berries." Vinous

"Black berries with forest floor, mushroom and subtle thyme aromas. Medium to full body, with juicy and delicious fruit and undertones of earth and spice. Thoughtful wine. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Better in a couple of years. Try after 2025." James Suckling
