Château Brane Cantenac
Château Boyd-Cantenac
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Not one of the best Bordeaux that I have drank but quite decent. 20 years old and still holding its own. for the price point back in 2008 it delivered.  — 5 months ago
Château Cantenac Brown
Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986
Flight 4 , wine 2. This was quite a difficult wine to read at first , again quite closed , mineral and tobacco edged . Dark fruits. On the palate rounder than expected , good richness and balance , dark cherry , blackberry fruit . Good rounded tannin and ok length . Quite obviously Bordeaux in the context of this tasting , though I had this as the Lynch Bages 1982 when it was actually the Brane Cantenac 1986 …..I give up ! 90
This was an interesting , though challenging tasting , all served blind in flights of 2 wines , 3 flights of 1 Napa and 1 Bordeaux and 1 of 2 Bordeaux; served in a random sequence . The fact that at least a couple of wines were not pristine didn’t help , though if you will taste 8 , 40 year old wines that is probably par for the course . I found it relatively easy to spot whether what was in the glass was Napa or Bordeaux but didn’t actually get a single wine completely correct ! Probably overall the winner of the tasting was Napa (won the 3 rounds 2-1) as they had more suave polished , rounded personalities. Many put the wines the wrong way round , imagining that Napa was Bordeaux etc. The 1982s in general showed poorly too much funk and brett on the Lynch and Talbot but the Duhart showed surprisingly well . The 86s both showed pretty well and equalled the Dominus (even though I didn’t think we had a pristine bottle) . The Montelena was enjoyable , though was the first to oxidise whilst the Inglenook was the biggest positive surprise , still drinking surprisingly well at 47 . — 3 months ago
Château Malescot St. Exupéry
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
2019 vintage. A totally different style compared to the more classic 2019 Cantenac Brown, but every bit as good. A more flashy, opulent style, flirting with overripeness, but every bit as good. — 7 months ago
"Odedi"
Pale lemon in color.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing limes, citrus, green apples, light grapefruits, herbs, minerals and white pepper.
This is a very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from the house of Cantenac Brown in Bordeaux. Rich and elegant. Well balanced and easy drinking.
A good quality wine, that needs some time to open up.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and better when not too cold.
A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
