Item No. 103911 
red wine style:
Light & Fruity Smooth & Supple Earthy & Spicy Big & Bold
critical acclaim:

"Although the aromas are heavily of wood, the fruit has a fresh lift, giving some spices, with a core of tannin coming through to finish with some juiciness. A wine in the elegant style.
Barrel Sample: 91-93 Points "

Wine Enthusiast

"For producing the finest Cantenac-Brown I have ever tasted, kudos go to the new administration and proprietor. This property has always produced a rustic, austere wine with too much tannin and muscle for its delicate Margaux personality. However, in 2008 the tannin has been tamed, and it is now sweet, ripe, and well-integrated. The wine exhibits a dense purple color in addition to a ripe bouquet of black fruits, licorice, smoke, and underbrush. It is a medium-bodied, classic Margaux that will benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age, and should keep for 20-25 years. Range: 90-92"

The Wine Advocate

"If showing a little more ripeness and muscle than its neighbor from Brane-Cantenac, this nicely made wine still toes the line of true Margaux understatement. Its slight lack of overall polish is simply the failing of youth, and, while it may finish with grabby tannins to hold off in the near-term, it has the pieces in place to charm once a half-decade has passed."
