94 Points- Wine Enthusiast
A solid effort, this is a wine with great fruit and firm structure to support it. Ripe and full in the mouth, itβs a firm and complex wine with a delicious juicy aftertaste.
93 Points- Wine Spectator
This offers beguiling aromas of bergamot, roasted sandalwood and black tea, before giving way to a well-endowed core of plum, blackberry and raspberry reduction notes. The structure is remarkably fine-grained, showing seamless integration through the long finish.Β A really great showing.
93 Points -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cantenac Brown, one of the most impressive Margaux I tasted, is the complete package β from the initial attack to the layered, rich finish. Dense ruby/purple-hued with notes of licorice, mulberries, black currants, asphalt and spring flowers, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, rich effort does not reveal an excess of rusticity or astringency.
92 Points-James Suckling
This is very intense for the vintage in the MΓ©doc with blueberry, mineral and blackcurrant character. Full and chewy. Needs two or three years to soften but already there.
