Château Cantenac-Brown Brio de Cantenac Brown 2020 750ml

The 2020 Brio de Cantenac Brown is plush and explosive, which makes it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years or more. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and sweet spice are all amplified in this wonderfully seductive, charming second wine. The 2020 is an absolute delight.<br/><br/>

The second wine of Cantenac Brown, the 2016 Brio de Cantenac is a solid, medium-bodied, elegant wine that’s very much in the style of the vintage with its elegant profile. Lots of Merlot-driven black cherry, violet, and tobacco notes flow to a medium-bodied 2016 that has light tannins and a clean, juicy finish. It’s already delicious, but I suspect it will keep for over a decade. (Jeb Dunnuck)

The 2016 BriO de Cantenac Brown is rich and dense in the glass, with generous dark fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice, smoke, tobacco and charcoal notes. This sumptuous, bold second wine from Cantenac Brown is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. As with the Grand Vin, the BriO is a decidedly opulent wine. (Antonio Galloni)
