Cantenac Brown Vintage:2009

Cantenac Brown Vintage:2009The 2000 Cantenac Brown is a vintage that I last tasted just after bottling. It has a rather splendid bouquet that has matured beautifully with raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, dark chocolate and hints of rose petal, a touch of liquorice developing with aeration. The palate is perhaps showing its age a bit more with ferrous red fruit, grainy texture and a little sharpness towards the finish. But this is a typical, quite delicious mature Margaux

green apple and discreet spice elements evidences just a touch of pain grillé

Clings with fantastic tenacity and focus

with rainfalls in June and August

This is an exceptional wine

The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture

racy acids and elegantly muscular structuring dry extract

medicinal herb and crushed mineral

with quite a bit of intensity lurking in the background

floral and soft oak scents

the 2012 Pichon Lalande is a wine of pure and total seduction

still long & vigorous

This wine offers an impeccable balance between nose and mouth
