Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Cantenac Brown 3eme Cru 2020

96–98+
/100

Aromatisk, fyldig, tæt og krydret. Lakrids, sorte bær, blåbær og appelsinskal. Harmonisk, intens og typisk Margaux-næse. Ganske elegant mund, fin og poleret, medium længde. Kirsebær, sort frugt, tydeligvis med sort frugt, men også let lakrids og en fin sødme af cassis. Danser, giver glæde. Ikke en gigant, ikke en blockbuster, men en stor finessevin, aromatisk, fin, intens Margaux. 96-98+/100

Galloni om: Chateau Cantenac Brown 3eme Cru

The 2020 Cantenac Brown is a knock-out. A Margaux of towering intensity, the 2020 is dense and vertical at the same time. It’s a combination that works so well. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves all saturate the palate. There's real depth and concentration here from the summer heat and small size of the berries, but at the same time the 2020 has more freshness and energy than some recent years. There have been quite a few changes here in recent years, starting with a new parcel on the Margaux plateau that entered the blend in 2019 and move towards lower toast levels in the barrels. Cantenac Brown remains a potent, opulent Margaux, but 2020 has a measure of classicism as well. Superb. 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Cantenac Brown 3eme Cru

Fantastic depth of fruit with layers of firm, chewy tannins that are medium-grained and long in the mouth. Full and dynamic. One of the best ever. 96-97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Cantenac Brown 3eme Cru

The 2020 Château Cantenac Brown showed beautifully and is a serious, concentrated, powerful Margaux that's going to need bottle age. Ripe blackcurrants, toasty oak, ripe tobacco, and dried flower notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It shows the more focused, slightly understated style of the vintage, yet everything is in the right place, it has terrific purity, and it’s just a brilliant Margaux. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it never put a foot wrong. It will hit its prime drinking window in 7-8 years and evolve for two decades. 96/100

I 1754 købte Jacques Boyd (husk Boyd Cantenac!), en irsk emigrant, disse vinmarker. I 1806 giftede John Lewis Brown (ejer af Château Brown i Pessac) sig ind i Boyd-familien, og hans søn blev senere en meget berømt kunstner i regionen.
