Château Boyd-Cantenac
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
With 20 minute decant the nose was opulent leading a rich and layered palate of concentrated dark red fruit, pipe tobacco. Tiny bit clipped on an otherwise focussed sweet oak finish. Nice!

Feb 22nd, 2020Delicious and elegant Margaux ! Lovely tempting aroma of earth, black currents, chocolate, medium to full body, well integrated tannins, lovely balancing acidity and a long elegant finish. My score 90, drink to 2024

Dec 18th, 2018Vintage 1999 / drank this four years ago, now it is even better. Wow, what a treat. Earthiness and minerality. Very classic #bordeaux #margaux with balance, refinement and elegance. Applause!

BBR label but original cork. Must have been shipped in bottle and labelled in the UK.

Quite a wide skirt and clear bricking, though still quite dense and dark at the core; lovely nose of violets and forest floor as soon as the pungent barnyard notes blew off; still quite tannic and an odd chalkiness in the mid-palette, though without the fruit to back it up. Lovely nose but weak on the palette.
