Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 93-96/100
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.
Vinous – Neil Martin – 91-93/100
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.
