Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Ein Traumbouquet, absolut faszinierend, viel Süsse und auch eine hoch reife Frucht im Nasenbild vermittelnd. Im Gaumen aussen cremig innen mit einer gehörigen Fleischration aufwartend. Gehört zu den besten Jahrgängen von Cantenac-Brown und davon gab es bisher nicht besonders viele. Vergleichbar mit 2000 und 2010! 18/20 2022 – 2044

Very fresh, with well-defined red currant and raspberry coulis flavors that stream through, enhanced by a violet note on the mineral-edged finish.—J.M.
94 James Suckling
Instantly appealing ripe dark berries and plums with graphite and other dark stony notes. Very well-integrated wood here. The palate has a plush, suave and supple feel to it. Great concentration and energy. Really intense yet fresh finish. Try from 2022.
90 Robert Parker
The 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. The medium-bodied palate sports a lot of oak, with very firm and chewy tannins and a woody finish.
Producer
Château Cantenac-Brown
John Lewis Brown, an animal painter from Scotland, purchased this vineyard in the early 19th century and commissioned the construction of a Tudor-style château. A bon vivant, he soon acquired a reputation for hospitality thanks to the brilliant celebrations he hosted at his château. He sold the estate in 1843 to a banker named Gromard who was the owner in 1855 when Cantenac Brown was included among the third growths in the famous classification of Médoc wines. One hundred fifty years later, the Simon Halabi family have given a new impetus to the estate, which they are determined to raise to the very highest level. Winegrowing methods have been changed accordingly. Work in the vineyard has become much more respectful of the environment and yields are kept quite low. A return to more natural practices at Cantenac Brown includes ploughing to enhance the vineyard's intrinsic physical, chemical, and biological properties.
