Description
Even by the aromatic standards of Margaux, this is a very perfumed blend. Deeply coloured, charming and succulent with very polished tannins and oak handling and sweet cassis, plum and graphite notes. Classy winemaking from an under-rated château. 93 Points-Tim Atkin MW, timatkin.com, May 2015

*** 92 Points - Neal Martin for the Wine Advocate,2017***
The 2014 Cantenac Brown has a backward nose at first, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and tobacco, an attractive pastille-like scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more extraction than its peers. It feels fleshy and pure, notes of raspberry coulis, confit fruit, orange rind and tobacco towards the well-structured, delicately spiced finish. It makes you want to come back for another sip--always a good sign! A bottle tasted six months later in February 2017 demonstrated a little more cohesion and finesse, suggesting that this Margaux will meliorate with bottle age. One to watch out for.
