Château Cantenac Brown, 3ème Cru Classé, Margaux, 2015
Cantenac Brown appears to have toned down its wine-making a notch, and the result is much more successful. The colour is still inky black and the bouquet is dominated by cassis, graphite and noble wood spice notes. The palate is mid-weight with plenty of impressive crème de mûre and hedgerow fruit. It is rather sumptuous and sleek, with a cool fleshy character and well measured tannins.
critic reviews
Here you see more subtlety, more floral iris and violets, tobacco, incense, spice, this is a vintage that is gorgeous now, and will continue to be gorgeous down the years, can't recommend highly enough, excellent quality.This has grown since En Primeur and will continue to do so, expansion through the mid palate, beautiful. Tobacco;, cocoa, cappuccino. 60% new oak, 51% of production in Cantenac Brown, harvest September 17 to October 8. There is a harmony and sweetness, gentleness here that I love.
