Château Cantenac Brown 2004 Margaux (75cl)

Cantenac Brown sits in Margaux, where Cabernet-based reds are usually structured but perfumed. With around two decades of age, a 2004 like this is typically in a mature, settled window rather than needing further cellaring. It is worth opening for a dinner where the wine itself is the point of conversation. Mature Margaux reds typically show dried dark fruit, cedar and leather, with tannins that have usually softened considerably with age.
