Ch. Cantenac Brown (0.75 L)

WA: The 2015 Cantenac Brown follows their excellent 2014 with another great Margaux.

There is breeding interwoven into this Margaux, palpable sophistication, and it finishes with panache, fanning out with lightly spiced red and black fruit. It is not the most ostentatious Margaux in what is a fecund season for the appéllation, but I suspect it will surprise a few wine-lovers as its ages
