About five or six years ago, I opened a bottle of this splendid Margaux. What a surprise... dense and pure, of course too young then, but very, very promising...
Friday night I couldn’t resist any longer and opened another bottle. Lots of sediments in the bottle. A sweet complex bouquet of cassis, black currant, tobacco, and cedarwood. Fruity attack on the palate, with another wave of black berry fruit nicely balanced out with notes of licorice, spices, and minerals. Very classical great red Bordeaux. The tannins are ripe now, and the delicious finish lingers on and on... Certainly the best Cantenac Brown I had in three decades.
