Decanter, January 2025

Ripe and filling, I love the almost instant hit of cool but juicy blue fruits and salty liquorice that expands onto the palate and settles on the finish. Tannins support the fruit, adding texture and depth to the...

Gorgeous blackberry, blackcurrant and tapenade aromas follow through to a medium body with super-integrated tannins that are very refined. The thick, polished, silky texture is impressive. Best ever from here. Drink after...

The Wine Independent, June 2025

The assemblage of the 2022 from Cantenac-Brown is 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot. The aromatics here are fragrant yet brooding and spicy, with layers of liquorice, salted dark olive, black pepper and toast, but...
