Château Cantenac-Brown 2010 Red (Margaux)

Cellar Selection

One of the finest wines to come from Cantenac Brown for many years, this is powerful and dense, dominated by Cabernet Franc tannins and fruits. The structure has a smooth, polished character that locates it firmly in Margaux, giving elegance and discreet fruitiness. Age this fine wine for many years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

Firmly structured, dark-fruited wine, very solid and dense. It has weight along with black currant fruits and acidity. It’s a wine that is rich but seriously structured for aging. — R.V. (2/1/2012)

Château Cantenac-Brown 2007 Red (Margaux)

Price $75

This is a solid effort, impressively powerful, the tannins and extract just right for the fruit. The flavors are juicy, but the backbone is right there, the aftertaste dark and dense. Certainly likely to age. — R.V. (4/1/2010)
