The 2016 Cantenac Brown has an intense bouquet of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, pencil lead and sous-bois. There is gutsiness to these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin and a rounded texture. This wine sees 60 percent new barrels, with 40 percent in one-year-old barrels. Generous and aromatic on the nose, there is a glorious scent of red fruit, violets and blackcurrants with fine tannins and pleasing acidity. It starts quite muted and develops in the mouth, giving way to a long, fresh silky finish.
