Chateau Cantenac Brown 2010

Chateau Cantenac-Brown 2010

ROBERT PARKER  92-94+

One of the finest Cantenac Browns made in the last half century, the 2010 may be even more impressive than the 2009. Sweet, fat notes of blackberries, forest floor and earth emerge from this inky/purple-colored beauty. The tannins are slightly more serious and elevated than in the 2009, but the big, bold, full-bodied 2010 represents a remarkable turn around for this estate, which has now produced three straight top-flight vintages. It should drink well for 25-35 years

WINE SPECTATOR   91-94

NEAL MARTIN   91-93

This is a seductive Cantenac Brown, very Margaux in style, floral and feminine. I cannot remember this estate producing such a fine Margaux

DECANTER   17.5

Well-extracted depth of cassis fruit, ripeness and length and more elegance than robustness than usual from this château. Drink 2015-25

JANCIS ROBINSON MW  15.5

WINE ENTHUSIAST  93-95

Sweet new wood and fruit are laced with the freshest acidity. The tannins build up behind all this ripeness to give richness and balance. – R.V.
