Punteggi dei critici
93 James Suckling
Wonderful aromas of crushed raspberries, flowers, and hints of vanilla bean. Full body, with silky tannins and a juicy finish. Fresh and minerally. Best in 2018.
92 Wine Spectator
This is perfumy and very pure, with lovely lilac and blackberry aromas followed by plum, cassis and black cherry fruit. The supple finish is caressed with toast that leaves a lingering, perfumy feel. Best from 2013 through 2023. 8,915 cases made. –JM

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Bouquet wirkt einerseits etwas reserviert und kühl und da sind dann auch trotzdem noch süssliche Noten von leicht überreifem Traubengut drin. Im Gaumen stoffig, mit guter Fülle über dem Extrakt, auch hier ein Tanz zwischen floral und fruchtig, zeigt im Innern noch ein paar Kanten, aber das entspricht ja auch dem Typus von diesem Weingut. Kann noch zulegen. warten (2018 - 2036)

Tasted twice in Bordeaux, I must say that whatever was shown to me in cask certainly did not appear to be performing as well from bottle. It could be just that the wine has closed down, but I had thought this was an extraordinary wine and one of the big time sleepers of the vintage. The tannins have taken hold, and although the wine is still outstanding, any hopes of achieving a mid-90 point score, as I had hoped, seem highly questionable. Dense ruby/purple with notes of graphite, blackberries and forest floor, the wine is full-bodied, powerful, excruciatingly tannic and closed, and that may be why it’s not showing as well as I predicted. Certainly, this was the biggest discrepancy between barrel and bottle that I saw in the vintage, but the wine is still outstanding, just not profound. It will be interesting to revisit this wine in a number of years. Forget it for 7-8 years and drink it over the following 30.

Produttore
Château Cantenac-Brown
John Lewis Brown, un pittore di animali originario della Scozia, acquistò questo vigneto all’inizio del XIX secolo e commissionò la costruzione di uno château in stile Tudor. Amante della bella vita, si guadagnò presto una buona fama grazie alla sua ospitalità e ai sontuosi ricevimenti. Nel 1843 cedette la proprietà a un banchiere di nome Gromard, che ne era ancora il proprietario quando fu inserita tra i troisième cru nella famosa classificazione dei vini Médoc del 1855. Centocinquant’anni dopo, fu la famiglia Simon Halabi a dare un vero impulso alla tenuta, con l’intenzione di portarla ai massimi livelli. Di conseguenza, anche i metodi di viticoltura sono cambiati e il lavoro nei filari è più rispettoso dell’ambiente, mantenendo basse le rese. Questo ritorno a pratiche più naturali comprende anche il dissodamento del terreno per valorizzare le proprietà biochimiche e fisiche intrinseche del vigneto.
