Description
I generally find Cantenac-Brown too tough-textured, tannic, and dry. Therefore, I am happy to say the 1996, while tannic, looks to be one of the better balanced efforts to emerge from this estate. The color is a deep ruby/purple. The wine offers simple but pleasing aromas of black currants, licorice, and vanillin. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, powerful, muscular, somewhat foursquare, but mouthfilling and rich. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015. Last tasted, 3/02.

Tasting note
1989年的肯德布朗城堡酒展現了瑪歌酒的宏偉，呈現深紅寶石色澤，和諧地融合了黑醋栗、甘草和淡淡的香草味。這款中至滿體的酒力量十足且結實，同時又豐富滿口，結構堅實，預示著其長期陳放的潛力。醒酒一小時能更好地展現其平衡的優雅，非常適合搭配烤羊肉或威靈頓牛排等佳餚。
The 1989 Chateau Cantenac Brown is a testament to the grandeur of Margaux wines, offering a deep ruby/purple hue and a harmonious blend of black currants, licorice, and a hint of vanillin. This medium to full-bodied wine is powerful and muscular, yet rich and mouthfilling, with a structure that promises longevity. Decanting for an hour will unveil its balanced elegance, making it an ideal companion to dishes like roast lamb or Beef Wellington.
