Based on roughly 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot it offers an extraordinary nose of crème de cassis, caramelized cherries, flowers, and spices. This medium to full-bodied effort has plenty of tannins, as well as toasty oak, yet is perfectly balanced and has a great mix of both freshness and richness. It’s a tour de force that will be drinkable in 4-5 years and last for 25-30 years!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD90\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGood depth of fruit and a well-expressed, quite broad Margaux style which gets more classic each year.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP90\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2015 Cantenac Brown is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of cherry cola, cassis and warm plums with touches of spice box and pencil shavings.
