Château Cantenac Brown Margaux 1855 3ème Cru 2009

Charred cocoa, tar, vanilla bean, soy, tannins now melted and integrated, and this is a great moment to drink. The fruits are autumnal blackberry and red cherry laced with smoked earth and sandalwood. Fully open, welcoming, heading to tertiary, some bitter rosemary on the finish. 60% new oak for ageing, harvest September 23 to October 15.
