Vinous Media 90
The 2000 Cantenac Brown is a vintage that I last tasted just after bottling. It has a rather splendid bouquet that has matured beautifully with raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, dark chocolate and hints of rose petal, a touch of liquorice developing with aeration. The palate is perhaps showing its age a bit more with ferrous red fruit, grainy texture and a little sharpness towards the finish. But this is a typical, quite delicious mature Margaux that should give another 10-15 years' drinking pleasure.

Among the finest Cantenac-Browns of the last three decades, the saturated purple-colored 2000 is a sleeper of the vintage. Loaded with chocolatey black currants intermixed with sweet earth, cedar, and spice box, it exhibits medium to full body, surprisingly ripe tannin for a wine from this estate, a multi-layered texture as well as mid-palate, and a finish that lasts 25-30 seconds.

Still youthful and beautifully lush, with dark, velvety tannins that flow underneath, allowing the gorgeous plum sauce, blackberry reduction and anise notes to drape wonderfully before slowly giving way to a cast iron-edged finish.
