The 2023 Cantenac Brown, clean, quite refined bouquet with blackberry, cedar and subtle violet scents, the oak neatly integrated and lending the aromatics focus. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins, fine acidity, good tension and energy leading to a poised finish and a long aftertaste. Very promising and very sophisticated, this will give a couple of decades' drinking pleasure, possibly more.

A dense wine, showing good concentration, structure and balance. Medium- to full-bodied, with tight but precise tannins and plenty of fresh dark berries. A touch of graphite, tobacco ash and dark chocolate too. Very well done. 71.5% cabernet sauvignon, 1.5% cabernet franc and 27% merlot. Drinkable now but better from 2027.

Plein, onctueux, avec un beau tannin. Il gagne beaucoup à l’aération. Le cru sera sans doute l’un des plus recherchés dans ce millésime, aussi bien pour la grande qualité du vin proposé que pour ses nouvelles infrastructures exceptionnelles, dont un chai à barriques merveilleux, peut-être le plus beau jamais réalisé dans le monde.

Finesse und Präzision sind die Attribute, die Cantenac-Brown auszeichnen. José Sanfins und sein Team haben den Reben methodisch zugehört, sie bei ihrem Streben nach Präzision unterstützt und alle notwendigen Werkzeuge zusammengestellt, um diesen Wein an die Spitze der großen Weine zu bringen! Der Wein ist dicht und genauso präzise wie in der Nase und profitiert von seinen feinen, bestens eingebundenen Tanninen, die eine außergewöhnliche Symbiose mit der Säurestruktur bilden. Cantenac-Brown ist präzise, geradlinig, fruchtig, kraftvoll, elegant... das ist eine ganze Menge auf einmal! Was für ein herrlicher Wein, der dem Jahr 2022 direkt in die Augen schaut und sich auf die Zehenspitzen stellt, um sich noch ein bisschen höher zu setzen. Welch eine für eine Konstanz in der Qualität der Weine von Cantenac Brown ... mit einem kleinen Mehrwert Jahr für Jahr!

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Cantenac Brown opens with soft-spoken, savory notes of wild sage, tapenade, and spice box leading to a core of fresh blackberries and black raspberries. The medium-bodied palate delivers expressive black fruit flavors with invigorating red berry accents and a lightly chewy texture, finishing on a peppery note.

2023 is the first vintage produced in the new, state-of-the-art gravity cellars, which really made a difference this year. Sporting a dark hue, the intense aromatic profile shoots out its blackberry, espresso, flowers, cherries, and truffle with only a single swirl. On the palate, the wine is opulent, powerful, rich, and intense, yet, it is also light on its feet due to its complementing acidities. The finish is long, intense, energetic, and rich, with layers of sweet, polished, luscious fruits, with just a hint of spice, and peppery cocoa on the back end. The wine is a blend of 71.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 1.5% Petit Verdot. 13.6% ABV, 3.64 pH. The Grand Vin was produced using only 52% of the harvest. Picking took place September 7 - October 6, making this the longest harvest in the history of the estate. Drink from 2029-2055. 94-96 Pts.

The 2023 Cantenac Brown is concentrated, ample and generous right out of the gate. Blackberry, incense, new leather, tobacco, menthol and chocolate are all amplified to the maximum. As is often the case, Cantenac Brown is one of the more extroverted wines in Margaux. It's a style that works so well. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2023 needs time to shed some of its baby fat.

The 2023 Cantenac Brown, now with its new eco-friendly winery under the helm of winemaker José Sanfins, has a lot of fruit intensity on the nose: blackberry and wild strawberry, with touches of melted tar and sous-bois. It's quite forward and more fruit-driven that expected. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, very pliant tannins. It's impressively weighty and notably focused, though maybe not quite delivering the complexity and terroir expression on the finish as I found with the previous vintage.

Dark ruby, purple reflections, brightening. Fresh wild berries, fine cassis, floral touch, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fresh cherries, fine tannins, good freshness, mineral and good persistence, a subtle food wine.

The first vintage produced in the estate's new state-of-the-art winery, the 2023 Cantenac Brown has turned out very well indeed, offering up aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's serious and precise, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This blend of 71.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc represents 52% of the estate's production; and it reflects both the new winery's enhanced capabilities, along with the presence of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon derived from holdings recently acquired in the heart of the plateau of Margaux.

Impressive precision to this, offering blackcurrants, blackberries and cherries, as well as hints of cedar and dark fruit. Medium to full body. Creamy and fine tannins. Better than 2022.
