The 2024 Cantenac Brown is a classic wine from the château. Even in this vintage, all the signatures are present. Opulent dark fruit, new leather, incense, cloves, new leather and chocolate are dialed up. Technical Director Jose Sanfins and his team did a terrific job capturing all the elements of the house style, which is about as strong a compliment as is possible in this vintage. The 2024 will be fascinating to taste in a vertical some years down the road. New oak is 60%. Tasted two times. Date: April 2025; Drink: 2034-2049; Rating: 92-94 Points; Neal Martin; Vinous
Dark blackcurrant aromas, bramble fruit, milk chocolate and floral scents. Smells amazing. Verging on opulent and hedonistic. Supple and juicy, fun, fresh, fruity, this is a happy wine with gorgeous tannins, bright acidity that gives some bitterness but really balances with the sweet ripe fruit. Concentrated and a touch spiced with great firmness and length. Just a gorgeous weight in the mouth. Well constructed, round, precise, finessed and yet it’s still full of forward motion. Becomes a little taut towards the finish but there’s great refinement here. Will be yummy with a mineral, liquorice, clove and graphite and black pepper finish. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 70% new oak barrels the rest one year. 3.72pH. 10% press wine. Date: April 2025; Drink: 2029-2042; Rating: 93 Points; Decanter
